Help Needed With A Decision

I have an old Pentium 75 MHz computer that I still use frequently. I was wondering if getting an extremely cheap video card that supports OpenGL would be worth it? I would not be playing any games, but I would be doing some introductory programming for OpenGL on the machine. I currently have a S3 Trio64 in the computer and wanted to "upgrade" to a used card like the Voodoo 3 PCI or ATI Rage 128 PCI, not for the intent of gaming, but for the intent of introductory programming. Thank you for your time.

I disagree. While he certainly wouldnt be pushing a V3 very hard at all with only a P75 he will still gain tremendously over his current card. Considering he only has an S3 Trio which is pretty much devoid of any 3D hardware acceleration at all a V3 would be infinitely faster then what he presently has.
