Hate to burst your bubble but the Voodoo 5 will support/does support 32-bit
color.

I agreed with all but this point. It's time to put Voodoo cards to bed.
They don't support 32 bit graphics (and even the new Voodoo5 spec isn't
going to. They will run as fast but the color depth just won't be there.
In short, the folks at 3dfx need to get it in gear and quit resting on their
laurels... 16bit color is nice but with every new NVidia chip supporting 32
bit (and soon 64 bit color I suspect) 3dfx is going to wind up getting
dusted even worse than they are right now by the GeForce. If you're running
a Voodoo card I'd recommend, when you do upgrade, that you go to an NVidia
chipset or a Bitboys chipset.
Your mileage may vary (but in this case unless something rather significant
happens over at 3dFX they're going to wind up hurting badly.
