I don’t think it would hurt to grab as many different drivers as you can find, whether it’s Detonator (12.90 and newer) or early ForceWare ones. Preferably, use the 12.xx range of Detonator drivers for better backwards compatibility with Windows 95/98 era games.

Thanks with this card (v7100pro/m64) old d3d games runs with very low frame rates. So its a drivers ? Or İncorrect fsb rates?

So which driver should i use. Thanks

Try to use some one-digit drivers, like 7.76. Older ones are better suited for such slow CPUs like P2 400.

What games? And what settings did you set? P2 400 might be a bit too slow for 2000+ games.
If your mobo supports Coppermines, you could try to use one of them (preferably the ones with 100 FSB). If not, then PIII 550-600 with Katmai core (2.0V) should help a bit...

Games like future cop lapd , heavy gear 2, thief2,dethcarz,carmageedon2

All demos of course

This is how Thief 2 runs like on my PII 400 machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgRzVNMuhFM
This is what can be expected on this CPU, with a Voodoo2 card installed. Does it run better or about the same on your computer?

Pentium -ll @ 400mhz was a very popular CPU in Windows98
Era.

I had one
They cost about $250
Also the video cards
Matrox millennium
ATI rage
Riva TNT
Voodoo

And sound blaster live.

Basically PCI cards.

Looks like the Windows 98/Me version of the Detonator 7.76 drivers are available in the driver archive on VOGONS:

Thanks btw cpuz is tells me cpu bus speed is 100 mhz and dram frequency is a 100 mhz -sdram 256 mb-. Are these values normal.
