Further to the previous reply,
I have recently changed from a Voodoo (1) to a Banshee. I have found a
dramatic improvement in any program that uses hardware acceleration.
My system is also State of The Ark ( 6x86 200MX, 32mb, W95) not a P2 and
it works just fine with the Banshee
I were you I wouldn't buy a Voodoo 1 because they'll be obsolete soon.

You can buy Voodoo (1) cards for $99 bucks, (Diamond Monster),
or Best Data
for $49, ( www.bestdata.com ), that will work just fine with
your regular
Pentium chip. The difference will be negligible with your
Pentium chip than
if you had installed a Voodoo2. The Banshee is a solution that
can transfer
to your Pentium II system, but without the second texture
mapping buffer of
a true Voodoo2 you will not get the ultimate performance from
3Dfx chipset.
Recommendation: Buy a Voodoo (1), then if you upgrade get a
Voodoo3 (next
June/July) for your new system.
