The p2 450 is still a 100mhz fsb cpu but i think it will work fine with a v1. (i only use mine with p1 systems but have worked great with 100mhz fsb k6-3+)
This 450 cpu will work fine with a v3 if you use it at 1024x768, at lower resolutions you are better off with a faster cpu that can make more use of the potential of the v3.
Imho the v3 is best when used with a 600-800mhz cpu (v3 3000). At this level, if you need a faster cpu you will also need a faster graphics card because the v3 will fall short also in games that need that much horsepower.
1ghz+ is for voodoo5 cards or maximizing maybe a v3 at 640x480....
Ti500 is a nice match for Tualatins or athlons around 1300mhz i guess.
