The advantage to the FX 5200 is that it fully supports both Quartz Extreme and Core Image, where the GeForce 4 only supports Quartz Extreme. Leopard uses these features to accelerate UI features but I don't know how much Tiger takes advantage of them. The Ti4600 would probably be faster for gaming but I honestly would stick with the FX 5200 if you're going to use Leopard. Also as Valter said there might be compatibility problems with the slot.
