One of the B&Ws I rescued had a top line (originally $1500) Voodoo card in it, and it was about on par with a Rage 128 in OS 9. No drivers for OS X. A sad disappointment.
My B&W video card of choice is a GeForce 5200 flashed for Mac. It drives my (VGA 15-pin D-sub) B&W Apple 15" Studio LCD very nicely with hardware acceleration in OS X, unaccelerated on OS 9. The ROMs I found do not support DVI, so the DVI connector is non-functional.
I bought and flashed a PCI GF6200 card, but plugging it into the B&W destroyed it. Even though it was keyed for both 3.3V and 5V, it apparently was 3.3V only. The B&W PCI slots are 5 Volts.
