I've tried the two downloads from Intel and neither worked for me.  
Fedora comes with an okay driver - just over 400fps with a celeron 2.4, 
on an Intel Extreme Graphics 2 82845G card.

For refence, I run P3/800s at home.  The GeForce2 gets ~880fps and the 
GeForce4 ~1550fps.  Unaccelerated on my K6/2 450 got me about 60fps.
