Did I get the wrong video card..?
(OP)
I just had a new Quadro FX 500 put in my dual cpu workstation. The only benifit Iam seeing right now is the rendering is a little faster. Other than that Iam not seeing a big quality jump. Should I have asked for the FX 1000 or 3000 instead? This card only has 128 mb on board.

I think if you went through the trouble of building a dual-processor box, you should have spent the extra money on a FX 1000 or higher. You would have probably seen better performance gains from a higher-end graphics card than a dual-processor set-up.

IMHO - should've stayed with the single processor and gone with the high end video card. Then if you had money left over bought another stick of RAM.
