lets look at it in both ways

1) p2 350 and geforce: geforce being a gpu takes load off cpu and you get high frame rates (need 128 mb ram though)

2) p3 650 and tnt: you see a marginal improvment but the cpu will be waiting for the tnt to do its stuff. but windows will be faster

I'd go with a geforce as the games will fun fine for 8 months till you need a cpu upgrade
a m8 of mine has a 350 and a geforce and he gets 70 fps in quake 3

have fun and i hope this helped
