In my old Gateway 500X system P4 2.4Ghz @ 2.66Ghz using CPUFSB (My first computer, 2001) I had an old Nvidia Geforce4 MX440! The only games it ran well were RTCW...LOL
I did upgrade to a Shader 2.0 card though which performed much better being the ATi 9550 256mb GDDR2 256bit AGP card...
With this card (and some overclocking on it) I was able to even play FEAR on it!
Although I did add a 80mm cooling fan to the passive heatsink to keep it cool.
(Red fan blowing on the Graphics card & Soundblaster card on the bottom of the case)

Btw, I still have this old system in a box in the garage and it still works just fine...LOL
