Voodoo3 3000 low fps in Tribes2, Help!

[AnarchyAo]

Im getting low frame rates in tribes2 (10-15 in big areas, and 20 in houses).  I see some of you run the same grade of computer as mine and you get high frame rates can any of you please link me to websites with BIOS updates, or any tweaking utilities that you find work great.  ill post my specs below:

Win98 (Not second edition)
256mb system ram
Pentium II-400mhz
Voodoo3 3000 with WickedGL 3.02 drivers and the minidriver or wahtever thing installed in the tribes2 directory.
-----------------------------------
Please note that my computer I normally play games on totally died and I just threw it out, I salvaged some parts from it, like my 256mb ram which I put in this computer, and my ethernet adapter to get cable modem on this computer.  I also had a geforce 2 MX 64mb video ram, but when I went to put it into this computer I installed the latest nvidia detonator drivers but the computer kept rebooting when it tried loading to the desktop...  After 3x of rebooting itd finally come back to desktop and it would say there is something wrong with the display adapter, so I had to take out that video card and put back in the voodoo 3.  Id much rather use the geforce than try and overclock the voodoo 3 and change all these settings in BIOS and crap.
