Re: Is a Quadro worth the moolah?

[suspectTV] "Second question, if XP 32bit is limited to 4GB ram, is it worth getting 64bit version and upping to 8GB?"

If you're going to be using CS3 on this computer then you should definitely consider getting more than 4GB of RAM, even under the 32-bit version of XP. If you enable multiprocessing in CS3 then each instance of AE can have access to up to 3GB of RAM (if you have the /3GB switch set).

As far as the graphics card is concerned, my personal opinion is that a Quadro would be a huge waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere (more RAM/HD space), but I suppose I'd be willing to let other people chime in on this as well =)
