Might as well pull the Quattro. It's not a gaming card, so it's just being wasted in there. No point in using up more power, created heat, and such. But either way, it should be fine to have both in there.
Oh, and they don't work together unless you do something like a multi-monitor setup, where the ATI card's driving one display and the Nvidia's driving the other. But it wouldn't give you more perfomance in games or anything to have them both in.
