Quadro FX 4700 X2 | PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 4700 X2 | NVIDIA Quadro FX 4700 X2 P-CIE 1GB GDDR3 PNY Video Card

Is it just me, or is this totally unneccessary and useless? Still only 256bit memory...how is it gonna use 2gb of memory lol.

Just stumbled upon it while lookin at the website

remember, the quadro line is for commercial 3D applications and CAD type usage. Not for gaming so the way they are build is completely different than the consumer line of video cards.

Not so much. They're usually the same cores as the mainstream parts with sometimes more memory AND a different hardware ID. All the CAD optimizations are driver related. You can fiddle with NVstrap (via RivaTuner) to enable Quadro features for mainstream parts. They works as well when enabled (they can't always be enabled though) as their Quadro counterparts for a fraction of the cost.
