The range for a low end Pentium II - 233 system, with the Riva TNT based Canopus Spectra 2500, isn't as great as you would expect from a $200 graphics accelerator.  While it does offer a considerable advantage over the Matrox G200, you would be better off waiting for a 3Dfx Banshee in this case as the TNT is just too demanding on your CPU power to prove to be a high end competitor with a Pentium II 233 or 266 CPU.  While the Spectra 2500 definitely yields playable gaming performance at all resolutions, the 22.3 - 30/40 fps range is average for a 3D accelerator and definitely isn't worth the cost of the board.  If you absolutely must have support for 1024 x 768 then the TNT becomes a valid option considering that the G200 is no where near the performance of the Spectra 2500 in terms of Quake 2 performance yet and the S3 Savage3D has yet to be proven, however for most lower end Pentium II owners, a Voodoo2 will be the best solution.
