I used a 12 Meg Game Wizard Voodoo 2, a Voodoo 3/2000 and a Voodoo 5 in my 6500. I'd recommend the Voodoo 3 personally since with the RAM limitations you won't ever run X on it. You can find Voodoo 3's cheap on ebay and they can be mac or pc doesn't matter you just need to flash the ROM to use it on a mac. The flashing utility and drivers can be found on www.mac3dfx.com. The Voodoo 3 4 or 5 speed up 2D graphics as well as 3D so they make your system feel more responsive. The only problem with using the Voodoo 5 in there is you have to get one of those Y power connectors to pull power off the zip drive and I don't know if it was just my power supply or the fact that they didn't expect anyone to try it since they said it couldn't be done but when I split the power for the zip drive to power the voodoo 5 the zip drive wouldn't work, and even though I had external zip drives I could have used it was too irritating to me to have an internal drive and not be able to use it so the Voodoo 3 went back in there and the Voodoo 5 went into my Frankenmac until I went all X and sold it on ebay.
