>paying more for less why would anyone do this?

i guess you're wrong

>Xeon
You can actually get some pretty amazing deals on old Xeons, and even build yourself an overclockable 2P system.

>Quadro
You're paying for the hardware-software support and validation, not just the hardware. In the world of enterprise where software licenses may cost more than the whole workstation, paying a few grand for a GPU that is guaranteed to work does make sense.

>what is SMP, virtualization extensions, more cores and cache
>what is certification and guarantee of correctness when your software is $40,000 a seat anyway
It's retarded if you're a gamer baby, not really that much if you're actually doing something worth taking seriously.

Also great on the used market, I'll take an old workstation over some piece of shit consumer box any day of the week, even a single-socket one.
