Re: Time to Ditch Speedtest.net?
Our new supercomputer is connected up to a phat pipe. The website wasn't happy with the performance of my remote X session, so this could be better if I tried again with elinks or got VNC installed.

Re: GPU debate: GeForce GTX or Quadro
More memory, especially in DCC operations. Processing units are a dime a dozen at the top end nowadays. When you're working on giant files, frame buffer is where it counts.

Re: GPU debate: GeForce GTX or Quadro
I'm going to go with a pretty opposite answer to the above. With the correct drivers, the Quadro should beat the 980 by far for the rendering tasks you outlined. General computing can be accomplished with either, but a workstation card is designed to perform better for certain tasks, and you mentioned some of them. If you do not plan on gaming, go with the M4000. If you want to game on this card, go with the 980.
