Thought not. You probably wont see any real performance difference between those cards on any game in the next 2 years.
So, given that there are compatability issues with the radeon, I would say you should probably stick with the card you have.

Hey Willow, as you probably already know the 5600 fell flat on it's back side. Nvidia won't even allow it to compete in the same ring as the 9700. Considering it to run with the lighter 9000 series.
What some folks may or may not know, Half Life 2, and Doom 3 are in the video card testing stages now. You can see what will and will not be avaiable to you and your system in the Aug Maximum PC, and I'll tell ya, it's a smoker.
Now, as far as compatability, first thing you need to do is goto ATI.com and download the "most" current driver, or suite, card dependent. Then expect to see stuff in games that you have never experienced before. I have never had any, not one bit of this compatability issue problem. I think it's just a bunch of ijits who can't put widgits together correctly, and can't accept their personal shortcomings so they blame it on hardware.
W&W, you will need to find that file Radeon specific for that old game. I cannot get that to run on XP, so have not played since Spring 02.
