thinking of going voodoo

I am thinking of building myself a rig out of some old bits I have lying around that will be dedicated to playing I-War, Defiance and maybe a few other "older" games.
I-war and Defiance were 3dfx optimised and I have seen a few voodoo cards for sale on ebay. Which would be the best option to go for? Voodoo2, 3 or 5? PCI (with another manufacturers AGP card running maybe) or AGP?
Any opinions?

I have an old slotA Athlon900 classic, an Pentium 450 celeron and an 800Mhz Athlon t-bird to play with but none of the boards support faster than AGPx2

You don't need a legacy system to play I-War any more. There's a 3Dfx glide emulator that works very well:

So now you can run I-War in it's 3Dfx mode on a modern system.

...while that may be true its still fun to have these older machines purring away, tooled up to the max with all the highest spec stuff from their day, and all bought on ebay for the price of two pints of lager and a packet of crisps. :0)
