Since you'll be playing oldies, the 5500 has the speed required for this. On the other hand, the 5600 is much faster but you'll be facing difficulties with your Glide games. I'd go with the 5600 if those old games support some sort of 3D acceleration besides Glide. If not, the 5500 seems to be your only choice.
