As a rule, the 166 MHz 21064 runs somewhere near the speed of a
Pentium 60.  The tiny cache in the Multia/UDBs really kills
performance...

I bet.  I'm getting >70fps in q3test at 1024x768 with my new Voodoo 3
3000 on a Celeron 333.  I did a "timerefresh" in glqwcl (the GL
QuakeWorld client) at 640x480 once and it came back with 233fps.  :-)

It probably goes without saying that I highly recommend these cards.
