The G200/Super7 benchmarks using the D3D Wrapper for Quake 2 are just too low to be compared to any other cards out right now.  Hopefully things will change by the time the Full ICD is released in the coming months, but for now, Super7 owners shouldn't plan on having too much fun under Quake 2.

Not the ideal Super7 video card, K6-2 owners will probably want to shell out the extra bucks for a Voodoo2 however in comparison to cards in its price-range the G200 is still a great deal for the cost considering the image quality and average performance you'll receive on a Super7 system.   Not to mention that the G200 doesn't seem to have any incompatibilities with either of the Super7 chipsets out currently, making it one of the best, if not the best, AGP 2X Video Card for a Super7 system.
