I can understand the advantage of upgrading one's CPU to the PIIOD if their primary concern was for data crunching in software mode, but not so much for using 3D graphic card accelerated modes. The gains on said hardware would have been too slow to warrant the price to upgrade.
I think S3 Savage 4 is slowing you down here. Because you're testing everything in 1024x768 resolution. And even if it's 16-bit color, S3 Savage 4 has only 64-bit memory bus. Pentium II Overdrive should scale better. For example, my Expendable result scale up to 21% with Pentium II 300Mhz on the same 66Mhz bus (29.1 fps), so yours should scale around 25-30%. In other words, each 33Mhz above PPro 233Mhz results should give 10% fps increase across the board.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
