No don't get a Voodoo for doing 3D art they suck! Most if not all 3D software manufacturers say Voodoo's are not good for 3D art at all. Get something that has great 2D/3D acceleration like a GeForce or a Diamond card with at least 32megs of ram. Your best bet if you don't play games is a Dynamic Pictures Oxygen video card or an Elsa video card. Oxygens don't require NT to run and are an industry standard for 2D/3D acceleration. And get all the ram you can get , I have 256MB PC100 and it's not nearly enough! Believe me when I say that.
