voodoo 2 links through the existing card and takes over for 3d when 
using the correct drivers.  Considering this is dead technology and the 
company behind it went bust years ago I wouldn't think it's 3d would be 
as fast as the nvidia2 anyway.

Not worth bothering with unless you have any late 90's games you really 
want to see how they where meant to be ;-)
