which card?

[zalazin]

currently I am throwing together a system of spare parts
I have the choice of using a NVidia Quadro FX1400 or
a Radeon x700 both are 128 meg cards and PCI-e
Any opinions on which would be better in games?

System will consist of:
D 820 CPU
GIGABYTE GA-945GZM-S2 945G MOBO
2 sticks 512 DDR2 533 dual channel Kingston RAM
WD SATA HD 320 GIG
Nec DVD burner
WIN XP PRO
Antec 430 PSU

one of the two above cards

What? Does any of you realize that the quadro is a CAD card? it would be horrible! you should honestly think about buying a new card. it doesnt have to be the top of the line card but if you want to have the games be playable you need to invest in a newer card. seriously!

Unless you want to buy a new card use the Quadro. Yes, it is a CAD card, but it will also play games.

sorry i forgot to say that... keep the quadro if you cant buy one. but if you can...i strongly suggest it.
