Earlier this month we took a look at the NVIDIA Quadro FX1700,
which is one of NVIDIA's mid-range workstation graphics cards that
boasts 512MB of video memory, support for CUDA (Compute Unified Device
Architecture), OpenGL 2.1, and the power consumption for this PCI
Express graphics card is less than 50 Watts. In the tests that followed,
the FX1700 had performed quite well at the workstation-oriented
SPECViewPerf benchmark and we had compared its Ubuntu Linux performance
to Solaris Express and Microsoft Windows Vista. The NVIDIA Linux driver
with the FX1700 had the best performance and it ended up being a nice
graphics card for around $500 USD. Today we are looking at the NVIDIA
Linux workstation performance once again but this time it's on the
mobile front with the Quadro NVS 140M, which can be found in a number of
business notebooks including the Lenovo ThinkPad T61.
