3Dnow require appropriate software driver to demonstrate the
perofrmance boost.  Q2 shown that cuz the mini-opengl driver, which 
is not published yet,  was optimized for 3dnow.  Glide, 3dfx directx 5
driver are not.

Interesting enough, a review also shown that Quake 1 do not 
have so much performance increase with the optimized ogl driver.

If budget is the concern, consider a Celeron.
