Building a new CAD/3D system, was going to get a Quadro 4400 but
checked Nvidia and they now list the Quadro 4500. I did some searching
and found that PNY announced weeks ago that they had the card
available.

Can't find it for sale anywhere.

Anyone know what's up?

Hum, what kind of applications are you going to be running with a 4500?
They'll probably only make it available at first through OEM installers like
HP, BOXX or AlienWare (They have it selectable in their workstation
customisation, but announce a 10 day delay???).

There is a rumor going around about the unavailability right now, I
have no idea if it's true or not: Nvidia made the heatsinks so big,
that there are a substantial number of motherboards where two of them
(for SLI mode) will not physically fit. So they are hurrying to
correct the problem, which isn't an easy matter since Quadro's have to
pass rigourous testing and standards. Again I have no idea if it's
true. Nvidia forwards all inquiries to PNY, and PNY just keeps
replying with "updated" ship dates. They told you 8/14, now they are
saying 9/5, on 9/5 they will probably say 9/15. You can bet whatever
the problem is, nobody from PNY or NVidia will comment.
