It serves no function now except to take up 4Mb of RAM. Now, on the issue of a difference between the onboard card and the voodoo, I don't think you will be seeing much of a difference if the voodoo is a PCI card. Yes it will be better for games, but other than that you won't really notice any difference. If you're motherboard supported it and you were able to install a good AGP video card as opposed to a PCI, then you would see a difference.
