@kory richlin,

This is exactly the kind of video card and processor speed a voodoo 2 was intended to be used with.

This model ati card would have descent 2d, but very poor 3d game capabilities compared to the voodoo 2 back in its day .

As the voodoo 2 has no 2d capabilities, you will need to use the pass through cable that came with the voodoo card to connect it with the ati card. Install the last official 3dfx released drivers and your done.

Just for fun, try playing an older game on both cards to see just how far superiour 3dfx cards were at that time.
