This card, based on the same NV18 GPU as the GeForce 440MX, was introduced in February of 2002. It provides extremely reliable, baseline performance for professional, OpenGL accelerated applications, and the Quadro drivers are certified for many of these applications, differentiating this card from it's GeForce brethren.
This card is a dinosaur by todays standards, but it is now extremely cheap and very solid (not even having an active heatsink). I would definitely buy this card as a stop-gap if you have an aging 3D workstation with a failed graphics card and you can't quite afford the jump to a modern PCIe based system.
PNY is nVidia's OEM for all their Quadro cards. Their support is exemplary and expedient for the Quadro line, which is basically the reason Quadro cards cost more than twice their GeForce equivalent.
