depends on what you had for a cpu to start with... but you should see
about double the performance. the voodoo 1 had reached its fill limit
and was being held back bye the cpu..the voodoo 2 is still free to move
up in speed.    

as far as looking better..well you can run in 800x600 then so that would
look better. image quality is kinda a personal view...others think it
looks better...some think it looks about the same
