A good FPU does help. PCX2 on a Cyrix6x86 means death (and freezes given the unfriendly settings neccessary for most 6x86 processors)
I'm not sure what my fastest host video card comination with my PCX2 on a P4 was. I usually cycled through one or two FX5200 AGPs (which are unstable for Direct3D, but a sharp TV out) and a Rage128 Fury (blurry TV out but it all works). I don't think the PowerVR KYRO 2 combo is the fastest either ableit how cool it is to double up on PowerVR hardware 😀
