Your Agp 3.3 adapter seems to be efficient, no problem.
The 3dm2001SE is a monothread bench very depending of the CPU frequency (and core power). I tested this when comparing A64 core from 2,2 to 2,8 ghz with my previous Opteron 150, and Trevormacro had tested on socket 775 ASUS WS mobos with a C2D 8400 if my memories are reliable.
Core power and frequency upgrade affects only " GPU / Cpu collaboration" on geometric computation and T&L as you can see on the bench results. The fillrate depending of Voodoo and the drivers was the same @315 / 571, but geometrics flyes with the C2D.
Notice your gain is very low on Lobby (very depending on texture/ fillrate performances) but good on drago (a mix of geometrics and texture) and very good on car chase (very depending on geometrics).
If you look on C2D (onecore) Passmark vs A64 "Manchester "(onecore) Passmark, you will see the difference for corepower.
In order to compare the efficience of your Agp 3.3 adapter vs my Pci-E 1X adapter, I suggest that you underclock your C2D to 2,0 or 2,2 ghz (for example) to simulate my A64 @2,4 ghz (or adjust your polygon and Vertex score to my values : 5,8 - 2,0 -22,7).
(Notice that I didn't use a 'LOD trick' to boost my geometrics, and run the whole bench in 1 pass with Pci-E locked @100 to give a reliable point of comparison.)
In my opinion, 3DM2001 scores would be the same in this case.
Pci-E-on-Pci adapters are interesting for µATX or mini-ITX configs.
