It reall depends on the Resolution your looking for.
If you want 24 bits you may want to look into better cards like the Hercules
Chrome(I Own one No problems) and I do not know if the Local bus will help
speed up 3ds I believe that the CPU is the only reall place where you pick up
speed (remember that if you use a DX2 66 the CPU is 66 Mhz but the mother board
is still running at 33MHz) other cards like TrueVision 1024-32, VideoLogic
Rapier 24, #9GXiTC are very good cards Truevision is slower in windows, Rapier
24 is the fastest in windows (had some problems with windows and installing it
into 3ds) #9GXiTC is the easest to install but produced equal speeds as the
Hercules Chrome. The 1024-32 and #9 are single solutions cards, while the
Rapier and Chrome need a VGA PassThrough.

P.S. I wrote a review on 24 bit Video cards for the IBM and this was I findings
in a nut shell.
