I have a motherboard with integrated 8MB voodoo3 chipset and i also have a Geforce2 MX400 PCI 64MB card.

Which should i use. How much faster or slower would either card be.
 
The Geforce2 MX card is going to run much faster than the integrated voodoo3 chipset. First of all, the PCI interface is limited as opposed to AGP. However in this situation, the Geforce2 is only up against an outdated chipset that is limited to 8MB of memory.

The extra bandwidth that the PCI card will provide will do wonders for you...although it still won't be able to run the latest games (most serious games made within the past year).
