The Voodoo 2 is an add-on card. (Like the Voodoo I) You must have a 2d
card in addition to the 3d Voodoo card. The Voodoo 3 has both 2d and 3d.
And the 3 is suppose to be a lot faster. There are also a few different
models of the Voodoo 3. The 2000 runs around $100 but doesn't have all
the nice features the 3500 has ($200), such as TV out and stuff.
Personally I'd go with one of the Voodoo 3 models.
