Well, here are the system spec's we used in the test box should you want to try and reproduce my results.

People are probably asking why I'm testing on an overclocked system. The answer is a simple one; the cards are tested on an overclocked system in order to eliminate as many bottlenecks as possible. Also, testing was limited to resolutions of 640x480 and 1024x768. Anyone with a GeForce2 MX400 is really not going to see any advantages by testing at a higher resolution.

Let's take a look at what the synthetics have to say first, up next is 3DMark 2001.
