running sw2003 on geforce 5600?

(OP)
I am looking to build a home machine, so It will be some gaming and some SW.  There are a lot of Geforce cards out there that look very good for gaming.  The specs say that they are open gl 1.4 compliant.  I am not looiking for the abs fastest on SW, but it would be nice to know that it will run fairly well.  What are your experinces? would especially like to hear from someone who has gotten it to work, and how.  Disapearing dims and such have me nervous, I could go out and get a old cheap guadro4, but hate to give up the speed on the games.
Thanks for any help

RE: running sw2003 on geforce 5600?

Hi.
You can use this card and "softquadro" it.
It has to be said that this is done "at your own risk" but i am succesfully running a GF4 Ti4200" (128mb) as a "Quadro 4 700 XGL", all realview options etc are there.

More info can be found here which is an interesting read.
