Notebook graphic cards

I'm looking for a new schleppable (=portable desktop replacement) and have noted that Dell now offers the Precision M6600 mobile workstation with the new Nvidia Quadro 5010M graphics card - but the price is very high indeed: ~$2'500 more than for the next-in-line 4000M card. The main differences between the two cards seem to be the RAM (4GB vs. 2GB) and the ECC (Error Correcting Code) and Fast Double Precision features. Obviously, more RAM will help in certain situations, but does anybody know whether the other options will significantly improve IC's everyday performance?

 

In more general terms: will IC profit from Quadro cards at all, or will consumer-level cards perform just a well?
