Actually they are normal add-in boards, though the 2000 can easily b
adapted to be put directly on a main board. The large difference between
the versions is instead what kind of memory the card uses, and at what
speed it is running.

Also the 2000 is only available as a pci card if iirc. $129 also iirc.
More info can be found at the 3dfx website.
