At present I have a Diamond Stealth 64DRAM with 2Mb (they seem to call
it a series 2000 now?)  I'm not sure whether to keep it and add a
voodoo 2 card or upgrade to a Stealth II and get a voodoo 2 card when
the price comes down.

My question is:  Is the 2D performance of the Stealth II better than
the 2D performance of my old Stealth or would it be a waste to upgrade?
I play games like Red Alert, Total Anihilation, Quake, Quake2,
Jedi Knight etc.

Does the Stealth II accelerate DirectDraw better than the old stealth?

I'm not to worried about the 3D performance because either option
obviously gives me better 3D than now - but what about 2D speed
and performance.
