Intel Pentium III

The Voodoo2 is reaching the end of its reign, virtually all of the processors here, including the K6-3 all but maxed out the single Voodoo2's potential at around 60 - 62 fps under Quake 2...make way for those Voodoo3's everybody.

The CPU dependent crusher.dm2 benchmark does show a great variation in processor performance, with the Pentium III and Pentium II processors floating up to the top, leaving the slower Pentium II's and the AMD processors to wade down to the bottom of the pile.  Interestingly enough, the K6-3 400 performs just as well as a Celeron 400A in crusher, meaning that the lowest performance expected out of a K6-3 400 when equipped with a Voodoo2 running Quake 2 is nearly identical to that of a Celeron 400A.  What about the greatest possible performance?  That's another story.
