PIII-S 1.4ghz w/512k full on speed L2 cache

I know it's "slow" by today's standards,but I put one in my PC, since that's as high as I can upgrade it and I wanted to have the last PIII. (I also picked up a 2.53P4 barebones system).Upgraded from a 1ghz PIII. And actually, it's not that bad. Sisoft Sandra multimedia scores are pretty even with a 2ghz P4 w/256 megs of RAM. (I have 512).Games run pretty smooth, everything is pretty much "playable" at 10x7 Quincux no AF. I have aGF4 ti4200 128 clocked at 275/525. I'll try to post some benchies for whoever is interested. And a 3dmark score of around 8000. Is that low for these specs?

Throw a 9500 Pro in there and you will be flying compared to what you got now :)

(in terms of FSAA and Aniso performance)

Use my Athlon xp 1700+ / 512mb / 8500 128mb as a reference, I got ~9000 at default.
