    I was wondering if anyone has used the Precision 690 with the Quadro FX cards. I know they were compared to the Mac Pros at the WWDC recently, but I wanted to know what the on-the-ground experience was. Any input would be great!

    I just got Dell precision 690 dual quad xeon 3.2ghz with a ATI firegl v3400. It was intended for streaming video, but my boss rescued it and sent it to me. the gfx card was not what i want, but it was better than what i had. the open gl previews are all right, but no anti-aliasing. Sucker renders quick. it is fun to look at the task manager and watch the eight logical processors going. only one crash so far. it was an issue with keylight and color finesse. i did not investigate, but it set me back a few minutes while I started over. I suppose it does not answer your question, but i am just happy to have something other than my old precision 650 that i cobbled into a “useable” workstation.
