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.

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...
