A friend of mine is building a system for his sister, it will be used for standard games ect and also CAM and CAD (She's taking classes in them). I suggested an AMD Athlon with plenty-o DDR RAM. I told him that a GeForce DDR could be "hacked" with software to make it a Quadro for better CAD performance and save some bucks (I have a GeForce DDR and the "soft-hack" program but I haven't tried it). I was wondering if the "soft-hack" would work for a GF2 or 3, or is there a "soft-hack" for these cards? I assumed that gaming performance is the same with the Quadro as the GF DDR, I've heard that the Quadro hack only improves CAD performance and does not hurt gaming performance. I'm looking for info, experience, and second opinions; I guess I could try the Quadro hack on mine, but I'd rather not mess with my system as it is working right now and I can't have it go down in the middle of school. Thanks! :cool:
