Based on conversation in another thread I asked myself this question again. I tried it out but didn't notice any difference for any of my tasks. For 10 months I thought that having the 9600 would be justified with the introduction of Snow Leopard, but as far as I understand still doesn't utilize GPU's for general processing. I don't notice any difference at least.

So, please let us know by choosing from this poll if you've ever needed to use the 9600, not just tried it out, but actually noticed a performance gain for any of your graphics applications.
