A P133 with a 3Dfx card is much more powerful in 3D rendering than a N64. Take for example the N64-2-PC ports like SOTE and Turok, they have better 3D graphics on a 3Dfx Pentium machine (same graphical effects, same or more speed, and four times the resolution). Why would he? Quite on the contrary, as Sega's next console will use a DirectX variant from Microsoft. I don't think BG hates the money he gets from that deal, does he?
