Very good performance!

So it's pretty good? If it's really worth it, my friend has offered a FX 5200 AGP 128mb card for $10, and will probably swap it out with this this voodoo5 so I can do some expirementing on linux and games!

That's a great deal, and that card will be astronomically faster than a 3DFX!
