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.
