I have to vouch for this one: I just upgraded from a Cyrix 200+ to an
Intel
P233, and the 3D performance improvement was unbelievable. NFS2 went
from
unplayable on the lowest screen and detail settings to silky smooth at
full
screen, full detail. I saw similar improvements in Screamer2 and Quake.
You can pick up an older Pentium fairly cheaply these days, might be
worth
a look.
