Hi there folks, I've now installed an S3 PCI card and I've got X up and running nice and stable. Not to sure about trying the voodoo again. Maybe I'll keep my eye out for a voodoo 3000 agp. There's a shop in London that buys and sells older gear. The system seems plenty stable and fast even with an older vga card.
Next steps are to compile a newer kernel, and get sound working. I'm not to sure about what sort of sound this board has though I have the manuals on pdf so I'll have to investigate. I only really wanted a 3d card to see how quake performs on this system. Long live Alpha - if only in our hearts and minds ;-) Thanks to everyone on the list and debian in general.
