VooDoo 2 cards are 3d only so you need a base PCI/AGP card for your
windows GUI(Grpaphical User Interface) to work

Yes and noish.I used to run my old VooDoo 2 with a 2 meg S3 PCI and also
on another system an AGP 8 meg S3 card as the VooDoo 2 takes care of the
3d and the 2d card is only needed for things like the game's
interface/window's GUI so it doesn't have to be too great but note:many
modern games will run bad or have to run on the lowest graphics settings
in the game on the card/s as they are old technology now.

VooDoo 2 cards only do 3dFX glide and D3D.They don't do open GL.
