don't know about a consensus , but I found that DX9 has issues with my Geforce2Ti , the games run a fair bit slower and some display various other issues, I stick to DX8.1, works fine with the Voodoo3 too.
maybe that doesn't happen with later cards like the FX5900 or the 6 series but imo those are probably better with Win2000/XP anyways, a 1400 Tualatin will be a bit anemic for some of the later games like Doom 3 , though I remember playing Doom3 at a decent resolution and detail level on my Athlon XP 1800+ and GeforceFX/6 (can't remember exactly which card I had , it may have been a 5800) , and it ran fine.
of course it obviously depends on what hardware you have in that PC ,if you're only using a Voodoo3 or weaker, DX6 or 7 would be all you need
