I Myself have a Radeon 9500 non-pro with the extra pipelines enabled - but
no 256bit memory interface - so effectively, its a 64mb Radeon 9500 pro. I
get a decent 3dMark 01 score - and would compare it to a GeForce 4 Ti4400
easily - although i suspect it'd also urinate from a great height over the
FX5600.

HardOCP has benchmarks with the R300 based 9500 vs the GeForce 4's - and
while the GeForce 4's and the Radeon 9500 are neck and neck in the regular
test - once AA and AF are turned on - the Radeon eliminates them. Total
annihilation!

Its a very good card and serves me well. Also - its got better DX9 features
(IMO) than the GeForce FX's.

to recap - at least as fast as a GeForce FX5600 if not moreso.
