I suggest the Diamond Speedstar 24. They ship with decent drivers for 3DS and AutoCAD (Panacea) and are very inexpensive. About $150. It is an ISA card does 16.7M colors at 640×480 and 256 colors at 1024×768. Actually, I am very impressed with the speed of the card – even in Windows. I see a noticeable difference over a Metheus Premier S3 card installed in a Compaq DP 4/33. On the S3 card screen redraws in Win 3.1 are pretty noticeable when using Alt-Tab. I've got the Diamond card in my Gateway 4/66 and I rarely notice a redraw at 1024. – Just a though. Dave Mennenoh
