1) no
2) I don`t know
3) I don`t know anything about these cards, so you`ll have to follow my
little gpl graphics card guide :)
a) Is it a rendition? yes - goto 'd' no - goto 'b'
b) Is it a 3dfx? yes - goto 'd' no - goto 'c'
c) It will look shit
d) It will look fantastic!
There, Hope that clears a few things up ;-)

You will find the Rendition-based boards to be somewhat sharper/purer in
color than a 3Dfx board running GPL, and it will work a bit better if
you only have a midlevel CPU. Most beneficial of all is that only the
Rendition cards can run GPL with anti-aliasing enabled.
Try the Genoa www site for more specific info on the VRaptor.
