Get a TNT as most of the new engines coming out soon will be optimised for
opengl and nearly all non-fps games use D3D mostly. The few games that are
glide optimised are fps stuff (quake/q2/unreal) and some older games.

Voodoo 2 is slightly faster on slower processors. Also what is the point of
10430283 fps in quake ? You`d be better off with higher res (especially on
17" +) and better quality picture
