Quick update...

I've found a used Quadro FX 500 (AGP 8x) for sale at US$120/EUR95... would you think it would be a more convenient upgrade, compared to the Quadro FX 540 which is PCI Express, but priced at US$260/EUR210?

Would you guys believe it would be better for me to forget about the PCI Express bus and buy this one? Are there any significant differences in performance between the FX 500 and FX 540... even if the 115.00 euro of difference in price would still represent a good reason for choosing the Quadro FX 500...

Also, is the Quadro FX 540 newer than the Quadro FX 500 or were they introduced on the market at the same time... and it's basically just a matter of different buses (AGP/PC-X)?

Please suggest!

Thanks again,
Mark
