ATC-2455 Helios 3D Voodoo2 Edition 12MB EDO PCI 3Dfx VooDoo 2 3D accelerator 2D card requared $ 69
3DFX Voodoo3 2000 16MB AGP In Stock 2D/3D Accelerator AGP 2X $ 73
My reasoning is simple first off yea there is only a 4 dollar difference,but why replace the video card you have with a PCI VooDoo 3 because I imagine like most people when you do upgrade your computer and have an AGP slot you would want to use it. Therefor the Voodoo3 PCI is now a paper weight. But if you get a Voodoo2 and then upgrade your computer later on you can use the Voodoo2 with your new AGP card with no problems. I still have a Voodoo2 in my computer for when I play older games like Unreal or NFS 3.
And a 233 or slower computer will not push a Voodoo 2 to its limits (not by a long shot)
