Massive Performance tweaking needed

I have a problem with Gothic. After trying to fix it for many weeks, i figure someway (I disabled the direct3d accelerator, somehow it worked) to make the gamefinally run, except it goes so slow that i cant play it. Here are my specs:

Win 98
Pentium III 450 MHz
320 ram
DirectX8.1
Matrox G200 8Mb

I know it is recommended to have 16 Mb for the display card, but i used the same one with Warcraft III and it ran fine. I figure that gothic will play modeately well with these specs.
How can i make the game run smoother without having to make any purchases, i dont have money. Any advice for the Gothic.ini?
Thank you

Sorry to say this, but IMHO it�s hopeless. You won�t get playable frame rates on this system.

You can pick up a Geforce 4 4200 for around $150 now. It would make a huge difference.

Here are some things to try:

-defrag
-large fixed swapfile
-reboot before you play the game
-close all tasks running in the background
-type 'toggle frame' in the console to check the frame rate.

Resolution and colour depth don�t have that much influence on the speed, so you should try to keep them up. I still doubt Gothic will be playable. Two-digit frame rates would come as a surprise.
