    A p166 is minimum-spec for all of the new games coming out, so you're games are going to be cpu-bound more than anything else. If you get a voodoo2 it will improve things, but not by much, in fact the card will spend most of it's time waiting on the cpu to provide it with the data is needs. So, get a voodoo2, a new motherboard, cpu, and possibly more memory (if you have less than 32).

    If you're dublin-based, Peats are doing pretty good deals on cpu/board/memory bundles at the moment. Mind you, if your current machine is a name-brand one (Gateway/Dell etc), upgrading can be difficult.
