(magic twinpower) - I looked on that voodoo driver site that's due to go down in a couple of week, but didn't find anything, only for the agp version.

You can find them here:

PCI cards use the same drivers as the AGP ones.

What was the average cpu that people had back when this card came out?

Probably a K6-2 or PI or PII

How about the matrox g400, tnt2 and firegl 4mb? (All agp)
It's a slow card. It will be faster than a single Voodoo2 in single-texturing games (think GLQuake), but massively slower, I believe up to half as fast(?) in anything that uses multi-texturing, so Quake 2, Unreal, Half-Life and the like will suffer greatly.
As such, I've never really found a use for one. It'd be a nice card to use on a Pentium machine though, instead of using a dedicated 2D card + Voodoo1. The Voodoo Banshee has great output quality, pretty much the same as Voodoo3 and Voodoo5.

I'm just after period-appropriate cards to run in zdoom software mode. (Obviously none of them will work acceptably with even the earliest gzdoom)

Banshee came after Voodoo2 near the end of 1998. It was intended to be a budget product for budget gamers, who would probably favor K6-2 or Celeron over P-II. P-I and P-MMX might be a little too old and low for Banshee.

G400 was expensive and high end so I'd say P-III.
TNT2 ranges from high end Ultra to low end Vanta, so it depends on what version you have.
FireGL - I assume you meant the Permedia1/2 chip version - was intended for low end 3D CADs. I'd get a PCI version, pair it with Pentium Pro and run NT4. It was really really bad at gaming.
