Excellent piece of hardware, brought our PC kicking and screaming into the late 90s when we added it in place of the Avance Logic. Full 24 bit colour in high rez, and pretty decent 3D acceleration as well (somewhere between an original 3dfx and a full-blown Voodoo II). Made everything so much better, both games and Windows in general... Rarely found anything that taxed the card more than the actual CPU, even when boosted up to a 450Mhz K6-2.
Eventually replaced with a Voodoo 4 which made nothing like as much impact and was a bit of a let-down in comparison!
