    it's a toss up between .. ati fireGL vs nvidia quadro4 ..
            - depends on what is on sale ... regular retail is $1,000+ each

    but, some of the newer quadro4 seems to be faster than fireGL series
            - its fun to learn about installing nvidia drivers
            and old drivers and new drivers and clean up their sloppy(broken)
            installers so that dri/drm all works right in stereo 3D
