About the only caveat that I can think of for the voodoo3 (as I use it 
myself) is the
hardware limitation of only supportting DRI in 16bpp mode

Outside of that, It's a good choice even though they're becoming 
increasingly hard
to find in retail stores,.. though you could pick one off ebay for 
peanuts I suspect.

As for Radion, can't comment, I can only find the card in AGP format 8/
