Pentium 3 - 500 40.1 fps
Pentium 2 - 500 36.0 fps
Pentium 2 - 450 31.9 fps

Motocross Madness - Direct3D Performance
Voodoo2 Single @ 800x600
Pentium 3 - 560 51.0 fps
Pentium 3 - 500 47.1 fps
Celeron - 550A 48.2 fps
Pentium 2 - 500 45.9 fps
Pentium 2 - 450 43.4 fps
Pentium 2 - 400 42.1 fps
Celeron - 333 35.4 fps


Motocross Madness - Direct3D Performance
Riva TNT @ 800x600
Pentium 3 - 560 56.8 fps
Pentium 3 - 500 53.4 fps
Celeron - 550A 54.2 fps

Pentium 2 - 400 51.2 fps
Celeron - 333 41.5 fps

While not showing the dramatic difference as evidenced in Half Life, Motocross Madness also had its share of speed boosts by the high clock rate of the Pentium IIIs. Especially while overclocked, the P3 chips were able to take the top scores from the previous champ, the Celeron 550.

 Quick Facts
Valve has always been very good about supporting new and exciting hardware features (such as A3D 2.0 and EAX). Go bug them about KNI and see what comes out of it. At the very least it might get implemented into Team Fortress 2!
