Ok, then. You'll need 200 to 300 mhz, definitely.
The RAM spec is most definitely system memory. Are you going for Windows 95 or 98? In the former case, get 16 to 32 MB. In the latter, 64 is definitely recommended.

Glide was an API proprietary to 3dfx's Voodoo series, so there is no question that you'll need one of those.
Voodoo 2's require a separate 2D graphics card. 640x480 @ 8-bit is hardly amazing. Almost any old 1 - 2 MB graphics card will do that; I've got one dating back to early '95, and it can get to 1024x768 @ 8-bit no problem.
Unless you're going for Voodoo 3's. Those were proper accelerated cards, and as such do not need a separate 2D card.
