I doubt it, since the Voodoo2 is a 3D card, and JJ2 is a 2D game. Hence there would be no graphics acceleration for it if you tried running it on your V2's, if it'd even run on them at all. So you'd better hope that your matrox card has good 2D acceleration on it because your V2's are going to get you nowhere.

Note: I have a computer with a single V2 and JJ2 won't run on there, I have to run it on my ATI card. And if it won't run on a single V2, it won't run on dual V2's since SLI mode only splits up the work that each card has to do, it doesn't add to their capabilities at all.

The game was made for P90's and 1mb gfx cards, so why am I getting such fps? Is this normal?
Yep, perfectly normal. My P75 used to get around 5-6FPS tops if I was playing an online games. It'd top out at about 30 max when playing singleplayer. Remember, just because a game is designed to play on a low-end system, it doesn't mean that it'll play well.

On the other hand, my .450ghz PII would play JJ2 maxed out at 70fps most of the time. So given that you have a 233mhz system which is right between the two, I'd say that the FPS that you're getting to be right on the money. Personally I consider anything over 15fps to be perfectly playable. If you don't believe me, you should compare it to 5fps (or less) someday. :-)
