Some data about sense to use faster (and much cheaper) video card ATI 9700 Pro (it's close to Nvidia 4600):
Quake 3, 640x480-16 - K6-3 450 - 50 fps
V5 with faster K6-3 550 - 42 fps
If to interpolate, the possible fps with K6-3 550 + ATI 9700 = 60 fps, what's more on 40% than with V5. With common Nvidia 4200 the difference is expected +15-20%, what most will prefer, not taking into account mad V5 prices. How is in other games needs researching, what you may do.
