Ok, P2-266 is the bottleneck, just as on my P2-300. I have about the same
3DMarks in 640*480 and 1024*768 (~2100 on Asus 6600). But thankx to T&L the
GeForce is a much better card for low-end P2's than i.e. a TNT2U, coz it
eliminates CPU consuming T&L math on the P2 (3DMarks without HW T&L is about
50% of with HW T&L). Of course we have to wait for more HW T&L games to
achieve some decent performance.

Salvaje: DMZG maybe "requires" 333Mhz, but it runs ok on my 300...
