I am also new to the Quadlist, having just obtained a Quadra 610 too.
I would suggest maxxing RAM and VRAM before plunging for a PPC upgrade. (IMHO).
I would also like to pose a new question: What OSes are available for the Q610? I currently have 8.0, but would be much more interested in Linux if I could get a distro and version that would work.
For some reason I remember a problem with the Q610 having a 68LC040 processor....?
Quite frankly, with today's prices, it would make much more sense and be faster to buy a cheap PPC rather than find an upgrade card for the Quadra. Or, if you really like the case you already have, you can drop in a 6100 board without too much difficulty.
It'll run from 7.1 up to 8.1 just fine, as well as Linux. My 610 already has a full 68040 in it, most of the Quadras did, so it should run it without a problem.
