I feel real dumb asking this but I can't figure out what model Geforce3 my friend gave me. Details:

64 MB
200 MHz core
460 MHz memory

I was surprised to find that Far Cry runs well at 1024x768 with minimal settings. Doom 3 at 640x480 with ultra low settings is playable (but honestly, I'm going to try to wait until I can get a 6600 GT or similar so I can play it in higher quality).

I can't seem to overclock it much even with one of those Artic VGA Coolers installed (the fan it came with was making annoying noises).

edit: I just tried 220 core/480 memory and it's 26.5 FPS in Doom 3! Hrm.. Maybe I will play it. That is with 640x480 with low quality settings but leaving all the shadow and other stuff at default.

You mean what model number, as opposed to what brand? IIRC, GF3 clocks were:

original: 200/460
Ti200: 200/400
Ti500: 250?/500?
