Quadro FX 1100, good choice???

You are getting new computers with AGP slot graphics cards?

If you wish to have up to date technology you would be looking at motherboards with PCI-E (PCI Express) video card slots. That has been the standard for video card slots for the past couple of years. The FX 1100 is no longer a current product.

I would be looking at an FX 1400 or FX 1500 PCI-E card.

Here is a comparison chart of the current line-up of Nvidia Quadro video cards.

I agree. The QuadroFX 1100 is a red flag for the whole system. The 1100 was middle of the road about 3 years ago when I got mine. It uses a bus (AGP) that is no longer mainstream. That suggests that the rest of the system is also a couple years out of date. It is still possible that the rest of the system will be reasonably fast, but the 1100 makes me suspicious of the whole package.

I'd say is passable in a work environment, if just barely. When I got it about 3 years ago it was a fancy card, but now it's just old and probably pretty cheap. In large assemblies it is seriously lacking, IMHO

It's just barely better than the $80 game card I put in my home computer, though it's a much newer machine, graphics are almost equal.
