While there is a benchmarkable difference between the two, it's not a
bad upgrade, but you can do better. A better upgrade would be a 5950U.
Also, the feature set of the two cards is the same AFAIK. So no image
quality differences (outside of different manufacturers' implementations
of the reference board 2d filters).

I would first upgrade your CPU to a 3200 Barton (better core and larger
cache). You're just fine with RAM, so no problem there. Then think
about maybe a 5950 or 6800.
