well for one thing the Quadro FX2000 is a fully programmable GPU while the
Wildcat 4 line is an old-school pixel pusher.
In fact, 3D Labs isn't making that line of graphic units anymore, they only
currently sell the VP line, which _is_ a progammable unit. But that line isn't
DirectX 9-compatible, it is only at the same level as the Quadro 4, which means
no floating point buffers and missing out on all that is required for now
standard GPU accelerated rendering. Which is why they've anounced at NAB that
they'll have something new later this year.

I have the Wildcat 4 7210, should that not support it? Any recommendations on
that compared to the quadro fx2000?

This error is related to the graphics card you are using. It means (in short)
that you will not be able to use shadows because your driver/card doesn't
support these extensions. Currently the cards that support this function are
based on nv30 and r300 (or better)
