Dabs sell Quattro cards anyway, not sure where else does. They are very expensive....the Ati equivalent is the FireGL cards. You can softmod many types of cards into Quatro/FireGL cards, so if you only need one or two on a personal basis this would be hundreds cheaper but obviously it's hardly viable for a company
