No, I'm not sure of that.  However, if eVGA makes all of the reference
boards, then why isn't eVGA listed as a board partner for the Quadros?
The only ones listed there are PNY, Leadtek, and Elsa.  And my recall is
that at NAB, PNY is what Nvidia is pimping in the booth.  I don't know
about you, but I find the Quadro FX540 PVE to be an interesting looking
card, and I would hope that it is fully compatible with the FX4500SDI or
FX5500SDI.  If that hope is wrong, then I'm not all that interested in
that card after all.
