The Monster 3d, Rightious 3d, and Orchid 3d are basically the same card,
which means that more games will support the 3dfx chip set. All three
will work fine with Q2, but unless you have 
an uncontrollable need to get on right away, I'd wait until Q2 is
release and do my 3d Hardware shopping then. 

There is supposed to be a few more cards released by then and there the
ones that are out now , I'm sure will decrease in price.
So hold onto your cash for now...and don't you dare even load Q2 on your
machine until you have a card, it would be blasphemy.

Hope this helps.
