Your on board card is secondary card.
Secondary is relative here. If you judge by importance Voodoo is secondary since your PC can't run with Voodoo 2 alone (if you disable your on-board card in BIOS for example), while your other card alone is enough to run PC (with miserable 3D graphic effects though). However, I called Voodoo primary from 3D point of view where Voodoo is more important and your on-board card is just supplement.
OTOH, Voodoo 3 cards could be used as stand alone cards.
