Does anyone know if the new Voodoo cards can be used with GP2? Has
anyone already tried it? How much does one card cost and where do I get
it from.

GP2 was coded prior to the release of the current rash of 3D video cards
and so does not support the functionality they provide.  Provided the
card supports normal VGA/SVGA 2D operation then there should be no
problem but you won't see any real performance difference between a
Voodoo card and a normal 2D graphics card.

Er, since GP2 is neither Open GL, D3D or Glide, you'll notice a hug difference
between a Voodoo Card and a normal 2D card, because your voodoo card will sit
there doing nothing. 8)
