So it's a GPU? For some reason, I have not heard about it until now. Is that because it's so old that it was obsolete when I first started learning about 3D?
Oh wait, I just realized that that was what I used in my old 200MHz Pentium MMX (along with 2MB of SGRAM!). It ran Descent 2 great (at least at 640x480; it sometimes studdered at 800x600).

Exactly. Imagine the difference between a processor that kicks it up old school - with real instruments - versus a processor that just lip syncs and dances.

I don't think a GPU that old would do so well with something modern like Fear Factor or even Planet Penguin racer. At least my GeForce FX5200 can run all the games supplied with Debian.
Besides, how good are the Linux drivers?
