That's a better DOS card than the Mach64 and it will be at least as good as a Voodoo in Win9x, maybe cheaper and easier to find than them too. But temper expectations with that P120. How fast a cpu does the system accept? Maybe that's a better place to spend the money?
You're probably right about the 120, but this is my first foray into vintage computing, and most of the games I have now are edutainment and strategy, so for now, I'll have to wait! Voodoo cards will have to wait, too. Cheapest working is a Voodoo2 in the mid 40s, and my budget is tight. For example, for sound, I'm getting an ES-1869F, not even a Sound blaster!

Personally I would just keep the Mach64 and install a Voodoo 1 but good luck with that unless you get lucky to find one locally. Voodoo 2 is much faster and is nice to have but my God have the prices went up!
Running a Voodoo Rush in my current pentium 1 rig though I need to get around to building a few more 😉
For as well as the Voodoos sold, why are they so expensive? Demand, I guess. Anyway,
I found an Ebay seller with a bunch on 200s in PCI, titled, "Matrox Millennium G200 G2+/DUALP-PL 16MB DMS-60 PCI Full Height Graphics." Are these different, and how would it compare to one of those TNT 2 M64s?
