I did not realise that a 64-bit MX440 card existed. Would that be the MX4000?
Keep in mind how old Q1 and Q2 are, they should run faster than Q3 (ie. Q1 fps > Q2 fps > Q3 fps - haven't seen an example where this is not the case - no idea why in your case Q2 runs faster).
[EDIT] Also compare Phil's Voodoo2 scaling results: Even a P100 can score 44fps in glQuake (only close to 20fps in Q2), and hardware T&L should also help, so the performance you got is easily to be believed.
On the MX440: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_g … GeForce4_Series says the MX4000 is basically the 64-bit variant of the MX440SE.
http://thandor.net/object/429 says there is a 64-bit MX440.
I don't think it's that important how you call it, expect if you are looking for a card.
