All your other questions have been fully answered so I'm only addressing the one about OpenGL support: Yes, they do support it, but not fully. The only 3dfx card with full support for OpenGL (ie, that could be used in any OpenGL-based program such as 3d modelling programs) is a Voodoo 4/5 series card. The others only support a small number of OpenGL features, typically only those exploited by the Quake engine availiable at the time of their release.
