Graphics Card upgrade TNT2 M64 -> 5600

I finally decided to upgrade my graphics card from a 32MB TNT2 Model 64 to a AOpen GeForce FX5600 as I found one pretty cheap. Is there any settings I need to change BIOS or otherwise to have it running optimally? All I have done is a straight swap of the cards and it is running at 8X AGP. I have run 3DMark03 and got 1395 with driver mentioned below - is this any good or should it be higher for a FX5600 considering my hardware setup??

Also im running the latest detonator driver (52.16 - i think (i'm on someone elses PC can't check)) is this necessarily the best driver just because its the latest??

Thanks for any feedback, Steve.

I have updated my Nvida VGA 2 times in the last year. Acording to what they say on their site the new drivers work with all their cards. I did the same as you just took old card out & pluged in the new. No problems for me.
