A couple things to consider though: The Banshee or Monster 2 *Will* be faster on a P233 MMX than a Monster1. Not only that, the Monster 1 will limit you to 640 X 480 resolution. Most, if not all games look much better at the 800 x 600 supported by the banshee, or Monster 2. The Guillemot Phoenix Banshee is available for $109.00 with a $20.00 rebate at Best Buy, and numerous places on the internet. It is a much better investment, and can move with you to a PII, than the original Voodoo.
