In OpenGL and Quake maybe it is not possible to get 40fps with RagePro, but lets see. I get with my AMD K6-2+@350Mhz 30.2fps with glquake, also there is ppquake with 3dnow support, that i would like to get and try. 30fps@timedemo demo1 without any tweaks or overclock with resolution 640x480x16 is ok for card from 1997, OpenGL is not ATi-s best thing and AMD K6 is not fastest for Quake games. Direct3D should work faster and add 3DCiF and DVD playback to Rage Pro/LT/XL cards and you get good combo ones to use in PCI or AGP slot.
Here is older4MB PCI cards in test, also Voodoo card with pentium III.

Rage Pro AGP, bit faster than PCI version.

The page has lot of innacuraties:

Ati Rage IIc with 5.5ns memory doesn't have 166mhz rated memory, it would be for 6ns memories.
But the much bigger mistake is with 2 memory chip Rage IIc - he didn't mentioned (or know) it is 32-bit version. That's why about 30% lower results.
He incorrectly marked it at bottom as 4/8MB with 64-bit memory bus.
Also, another mistake. -8ns memories doesn't have 113 mhz ("indicates a sampling time of 8 ns, which corresponds to a standard frequency of 113 MHz".)
But 125mhz. 1000/8 = 125.
That page is completly amateur looking, with mistakes and innacuracies on every corner. I just opened one page randomly, and was shocked.
Sorry, but results from such page, cannot be considered to be trustworthy. Dude is marking memory chips by names, by numbers, so it looks pro, but those are empty words, he only put it there from other pages... and he oesn't reveal, two chips means 32-bit memory bus. For me, seems he copy pasted data from other pages, so it looks pro, but doesn't understand it into the deep.
