The problem lies more in your choice of video card, not the system it is in.
If you had chosen a V2 instead of the TNT, you probably wouldn't be posting
any complaints.

The Shuttle 569 is not a super socket 7, and the TNT would be easily beaten
by a Voodoo2 in this system. Add to that the fact that 3DNow! is much better
optimized for the V2.

I have 2 systems running Hot 569's, K6-2 300 (at 375mhz), and Voodoo2's and
they do scream in all of these games. This combo runs games faster than
friends overclocked Celeron 300 and Spectra TNT card. If you are planning on
sticking with a TNT, then when you upgrade, don't settle for less than an
upper end P2, or you'll still be disappointed.
