Only 2 more megs?!  That's 50% more.  If you've compared that 2 more
megs on a multiplayer demo, you'd see that it *greatly* improves the
game.  All the players can be at max resolution with no speed hit,
more players onscreen with less, or no slowdown..  Nothing short of
Amazing.

 >You should have waited 2 months for the Voodoo2....

Eh.  I could care less.  Even if he buys it in 2 months, he's gonna
have to pay DOUBLE the price, and the extra fps won't even be
noticable.  Not to mention that games that support the v2 won't even
come out before summer.
