I did this very thing except with a beige DT. The improvement is quite dramatic. Open GL is actually usable and OS X responds at what is to me an acceptable level. With the stock video in OS X scrolling would slow to a crawl. iTunes gives me a much smoother visual effect in OS X, but is still rather choppy in OS 9.2. I had heard that this is because iTunes 3 allows it to use Open GL whereas it still uses software rendering in iTunes 2.x, but I'm not really sure about the details. Of course you still don't get quartz extreme, but if you're getting the card at a decent price it's a great upgrade.
