Hey Dman. Sorry I've been absentee- a little busy. I noticed a tremendous speed boost with the softquadro and I'm on 78.01. A couple other people I turned this onto noticed a big improvement also. I can't say for your specific scenario - it doesnt unlock all the quadro features but should give some noticeable improvement assuming you have the right chipsets on your card. Worth a try anyways...

Well it was an improvement, but man I am stunned and the visual difference in MAX between DX9 and OpenGL, the DX9 is smoking (by comparison).
Here are the results of the second test, same machine as a above.

There is not a huge increase but it is improved. Some claim as much as
double the improvement (on some tests for example the UGS here is a huge jump where the Max increases some)
I am eyeing Eric's results and feel slightly green.
Well, I suppose now I need to figure out the real difference in cost
and performance between the Quadro FX3450-FX4500 and find the best
bang for the buck.

Hey thanks a ton everyone for your input!

Well I went back to the SoftMod with D3D 9 under MAX and I must say boo-yah!
Working sweet, well works sweet with D3D 9 without the softmod too.
All I know is my video does not suck anymore.
One thing though, this is all with no edged faced. Wire frame is rough also.This is with smooth and hilight.
The 1400 is a stout card for the price, it really holds its own. Co-worker might find an old matrox in his box in the morning.
Thanks all for the input and help.
