You should have said that you only have an 040 in the first place, maybe even only at 25 MHz. Don`t even think about high resolution if you don`t have an 060.
The VooDoo can`t help you there at all, as all the rendering and calculation is done by the CPU alone.
To get a noticeable speedgain out of the VooDoo you have to try games that support 3D Hardware, for example Quake or Payback.

As for genetic species: since the crucial part is the speed from CPU/RAM to GFX-card RAM every ZorroIII GFX-card in an A4000 will mob the floor with your setup. An A3/4000 Mediator would be a different story.

To get the most out of any PCI GFX-card setup you really should habe 060 minimum better PPC. Anything less and the only advantage you could expect is that you can run you WB in really high resolution in truecolor.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.
