Do you think it's worth adding a Voodoo 2 card to a P3/GeForce2GTS system? I was going to do it for GPL but ended up finding updated Beta rasterizers for D3D and OpenGL and the OpenGL one works flawlessly, so I'm not sure anymore.

I don't see why it should be an issue. However, unless you have Glide (3dfx) specific games you wish to play, having only the GeForce2 GTS should be sufficient (it is also much faster than a Voodoo 2).

Well yeah, it's probably not even a nice-to-have, I'm trying to find a game from this era that wouldn't run on the GF2 but would run on a Voodoo 2, and the only ones I can think of are Redguard, Descent 1/2 and.. That's it I guess, since GPL has unofficial OpenGL and Direct3D rasterizers.
