Can I use a nvidia quadro 5000 2.5 gig in my msi x58 pro-e? I ordered one because my old nvidia 250 won't cut it for 3d and cad software. I just can't seem to find an answer. anyone know? Thanks.
Sounds like it should work, minimum system requirements:Windows® 7, Vista, XP SP3, Linux®, or Solaris®
PCIe x16 expansion slot
1GB or more of system memory, 2GB recommended
200MB of available disk space for full driver installation
Blu-ray, DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive
DisplayPort, DVI or VGA compatible display(s)

But I read it was only for specific workstations but no mention of specific motherboards so it just has me concerned, just don't want to fry my system over it.

Thanks, I thought it would but some website made it sound like it required a workstation with Xeon processors and ecc memory. I'll feel a bit more secure putting it in now, thanks again.
