You're best bet is to force it to run in Glide mode instead of the default D3D mode. It will run much better and will be less buggy. To do this enter the registry and go to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed - Porsche Unleashed" and change "D3D Device" to "0", "Group" to "Glide", "Hardware acceleration" to "1", and finally "thrash driver" to "voodoo2". I did this for my SLI and it works perfectly in Glide mode so it should work the same way for your Voodoo3. Good luck!
