I had some time off this week for the holiday. I decided to spend a little bit of time shuffling around configurations of my retro builds.
This machine was pieced together from cast offs from my old K6-III+ rig.
I gifted my other Cyrix MII build to a friend looking to get back into retro gaming, but I swapped out to the CPU for a 266GP 2.9v core version and clocked it to stock per his request.
I did a bit of overclocking on my machine however as it has a more modern core with 2.0v and is a decent overclocker.
I will post some benchmark numbers if anyone is interested.

Specs are as follows:
Tekram P5MVP -B4 (Patched BIOS)
Cyrix MII 266GP - 95x3.5- 333mhz @ 2.3volt (Detects as 6x86MXL 466GP)
128MB PC133 RAM (single stick, tightest timings in BIOS)
DELL OEM Geforce 2 GTS 32MB - Stock clocks, AGP 2x mode
40GB IDE conventional HDD
ESS 1868F ISA Sound Card
Windows 98SE - No patches
DX 8.1 (I meant to install 7.0, guess I didn't pay attention)

Please excuse the mess, I just threw it all together on a whim.

Doesn't seem like much interest, I guess this topic has been done to death.
But in case anyone cares to look at some point in the future, here are some DOS benchmarks as well as some pics of specs in Everest and a few Windows benchmarks as well.

DOS:
-3DBench 1.0c High Res - 441.1
-Chris' 3D Bench SVGA - 94.8 Points (56.8 FPS)
-PC Player Low Res - 102.2
-PC Player High Res - 34.3
-Doom Max Details - 2134 in 1367
-Quake 640x480 - 18.8

No fast vid or other tweaks. Ran from DOS

Thank you.
I used Phil's Computer Lab Dosbench for all of the DOS benchmarks. So max details, sound enabled.
