The only time I heard 266 P2 was either in a chat, or some CEO dude had
said it.  I don't think they would announce a minimum requirement. 
Besides, probably any card would run lousy below a P2 266, so why
encourage people to run your brand new card on a crummy machine? 
Anyway, from the Creative card preview, it seems the T&L will only help
about 20%.  That's not very much.
