They say that the voodoo2 cards dont do much more than the voodoo1 cards unless
youre on a Pentium2 class system.  Whereas it would make a difference on your
sim, it's not worth the extra money for the newer card.

For your P200, go get an older Voodoo1.  I see them discounted greatly
now....like 49 bucks at CompUSA.  I bet there are also lotsa people willing to
sell them privately when they upgrade.
