(normal pci card for 2D + 3dfx pci module called "3D overdrive" with Voodoo Graphics chipset for 3D acceleration....is it correct?) Thanks Surrimugge

Yes, the 2D card has header connections for the Voodoo Graphics module. Short of a boxed unit I think it's one of the rarest 3dfx cards that found for a Mac.
