  Not really, especially compared to some of the things over here that are taxed heavilly. (too numerous to list right now. lol)

 But electronics?, no, not so bad.
A lot cheaper now than 'not so long ago'

johnar:
My quadro410 arrived today. I've put it in and updated to what i thought were the latest drivers.
 However, in the device manager, i see the Device description is Nvidia NVS 300. So, maybe i've got the wrong drivers, and will see if i can find anything else.
 (all running well for now tho)

 Downloaded here:
http://www.driverscape.com/download/nvidia-quadro-410
 Driver version is showing as 9.18.13.529, so not sure exactly whats going on here, as not quite the version number i was expecting.
 I'm running Windows 7 home basic 32bit.
 Tried going 64bit, but only have 2GB installed memory, and have read that 64bit isn't really necessary unless i'm running a minimum of 4gb ram.
 Also had problems with some of my older softwarwe when running 64bit, so have decided 32 is good.

 The drivers i've installed are dated 7/25/2012, which are quite recent really. Maybe i can't do any better?
 My PC is Compaq Presario, system model FK915AA-ABG SR5620AN.
 Intel Celeron E1200 @ 1.60GHZ (2 CPUs)

 Its defineately a quadro410 graphics card, not a NVS300 ? Any help here with which drivers i should install would be appreciated, as i'm not really sure......

EDIT: Just found something here. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/80140/en-us
 2014.....will try this as soon as i update my internet data

EDIT again: DONE!
 Had the wrong drivers. The last link had the right ones.
 There ya go. Should've gone straight to Nvidia website and stayed there. (don't remember how i ended up with the wrong ones now, but oh well, more carefull next time)
 The quadro is quiet, which is great. I ran the Fire Pro for about 10 minutes, the fan was noisey. But it wasn't a new card. The quadro 3400 i never tried. New the 410 was coming, and didn't want to risk/bother fitting and installing when the other was only a couple of days away.
 The 3400 is a really big card. And can suck over 100w. In its day it was probably a good one. (and $1700 new, i might add)
 But the quadro 410 is a third of the size, with (more than) double the performance.
 Hopefully she'll last a while.
 So, All is good.
