Hello Fred,

If his 2D-power is still sufficient, I would say this system would be
perfect for a no-name voodoo-1 card. Here in Germany they sell for around
$60. I would suppose they sell about the same in the states. Your P90 system
just isn't the right size for a Voodoo 2. If you have a very slow 2D card
you might want to consider the Diamond Viper 330. The 3D isn't quite as good
as the Voodoo, but you get a very good 2D / 3D combination. The last I saw,
it sold for around 75$ (OEM / PCI).
