Yes it is a good idea.

The ATI card is a good at 2D and MPEG playback whilst the Voodoo 2 is
designed particular for 3D games.

If you have another free PCI slot get another Voodoo 2 card (exact same
model as your other board) and connect them together to form a SLI
configuration. This makes the system about 2 twice as fast in 3D games such
as Quake 2.

This will give performance not to far off that of a Voodoo 3 but for about
half the price as the Voodoo 3. Alternatively simply replace both your ATI
card and Voodoo 2 with a AGP Voodoo 3, but I digress.

Voodoo 2 and 3 card's can run GLIDE games which no other cards can do, which
usually gives better game performance. This is not a real issue however now
as most games are written now to run in DirectX or OpenGL.

You shouldn't encounter any problems running yours cards in this
configuration and is similar to what I have in one of my old PC's
