Voodoo 2 or 3 & ATI Expert 2000... possible?

[RE]

I currently have an ATI Expert 2000 AGP (32MB Rage 128GL chipset). I play alot of Descent2 online and although it works well with the game, there is a 3D_FX version of this game that gives my opponents a huge advantage over me. My question is... I would like to keep my existing ATI card, (The best card for DVD support, ok 2D and 3d acceleration, and very good at 32 bit rendering) and run either a Voodoo 2 or Voodoo 3 PCI card for my gaming sessions.
I know Voodoo 2 requires an existing card to work, but my ATI is an accelerated card already. Will this cause a conflict? Or even work?
Voodoo 3 is stand alone... in order to select which card I want to use, would I have to reboot to my bios and make it the primary display adapter? Or could I just use a switching box to select which card was supplying the signal? I'm running Win98 SE which does support 2 vid. cards... but for displaying on 2 monitors, and judging from posts at other forums is problematic at best.
Or should I just sell my ATI to some Gypsies and plunk in a Voodoo 3 AGP? How is Voodoo 3 at DVD?

Sorry for the long winded post, but I'm
tired of gettin' wasted by the competition.

Voodoo 2 cards are 3d only cards. You leave your agp card in and put the voodoo 2 in a pci slot. The pass through cable runs from the video output on your agp card to the video input on the voodoo 2 and then your monitor connects to the video out on the voodoo 2. All of windows is run with your primary video card. When you go to play games, you can select which card you want to use to play games. For example, If I have a tnt 2 card in my agp slot, and a voodoo 2 in my system also, when I go into unreal torunament and detect my video hardware it would come up with 3dfx glide and direct 3d as rendering options. If you choose the glide api then UT will use the voodoo 2 to run. If you choose the direct 3d option, UT would use the Tnt2 card.

BTW. Your primary video card does not have to be AGP. It was just an example.

Man this works great... now I am a bit more on par with the other gamers that run the 3DF_X version of D2 that I play alot of.
