I have two computers. First computer is a celeron 667 with 256M ram and a
voodoo 3. Second computer is a p3 866 overclocked to 975 with 512M ram and
a geforce 2 mx 400. The celeron 667 with the voodoo 3 generates TWICE as
many fps as the p3 with the geforce 2 mx 400. What reasons may cause this?

In the BIOS, the p3 has an AGP multiplier of 2x. I cannot select a higher
setting, only AGP 2x enabled or disabled. I cannot find any such setting in
the celeron. Does this setting have any anything to do with the frame rates
the respective computers can produce? or more specifically, what settings
(if any) can I investigate in the p3 to increase my frame rates?

Both video cards are AGP. Both motherboards are AOpen - the p3 is an AX33
and I'm sure the celeron is an AX3x too. I'm using RTCW at 800x600 with the
default highest quality setting to compare the frame rates. I'd be grateful
for any help

TIA

It's all about the drivers

Tried using the latest NVIDIA drivers for your Geforce? Can get them from
Gamearena, and it won't even count towards your usage :)
