GP2 will use none of the 3D capabilities of the card, but will be fast due
to the P2-400.

GPL also will use none of the 3D capabilities, and will run just "ok" even
with that 400.  To properly run GPL, you need either a Voodoo or Rendition
based 3D accelerator.  Probably the best setup would be to add a Voodoo 2
card ($200+) - it'll work alongside the TNT, and you'll have the best of
everything.

I don't know about GPL, but GP2 relies exclusively on the CPU for frame
rate. You won't have any problem with SVGA mode racing on GP2 on your
PII 400.
