switching off via the power switch wont kill the hardware but it may eventually kill the os from memory your problem stems from a miscofigured power setting in the registry as soon as i get hold of my sons xp machine to have a little looky i'll get back with the answer and the setting to change ok
should work quite dandy for what your planning plus side you can add extra quadro cards as to your other Q? you may want to ask on a site like devient art
sure the spec says it can handle it but you may want to upgrade that pidly PSU to a 450w hp are terrible at using only psu just big enough to power whats in the computer at purchase

hrmmm seems my 2600xt is 75th a single card but isn't listed as a crossfire setup oh and whens the last time you tried to sli a couple of GF6200 cards thats rubish it doesn't work the cards dont have sli capabilities considering it was first ment for AGP and then later given a PCI-e bridge chip to allow it to run on the PCI-e bus
hmm might help if you post the rest of the hardware you a wanting to run along with the video card or you could just use this PSU wattage calc page by asus http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
