TNT2 is the same generation as the Voodoo banshee - IE well obsolete. Although not as bad as the voodoo would be. From your system, I would say to upgrade the whole thing. Id be surprised if many modern games will run with a CPU that slow.

If you want to build a new machine for yourself (easier than it sounds)get a ASUS A7N8X motherboard, an athlonXP CPU, as fast as possible, 512MB of DDR SDRAM PC2700 (or more), and a geforce4 Ti or better. That combination will run anything and is not too expensive. A P4 based system will be more powerful, but is more expensive.

Otherwise, it may just be possible to run a faster CPU in your current system, but you wont be able to speed it up much, and it may be impossible to find chips of that type any more. Youll need to go through your system manual to find out how much you can push it.
