Well, if you're doing this stuff now, and those two high end cards were the choices, I'd go with the Geforce2 at the moment.

Voodoo5's are still hot, just released a couple weeks ago. I personally have a Voodoo 3000 and couldn't be more satisfied, but there are other issues. Even some reports that the Voodoo5's are too big to fit in some cases. Plus, other Voodoo cards (like mine) have had serious heat issues, which I'm not sure has been addressed completely with the Voodoo5's. Hell, from what I'm told the Voodoo5's have external power sources, so they have to be power hogging beasts.

If you were looking to spend 200 or less on video, I'd say Voodoo3 without a second guess. If you want to spend more, I'd go with the Geforce2, for now. It's a proven performer.
