Check out Boot magazine.

They recommend a decent AGP 3D card and Voodoo II in PCI.  The reason is you
can use two VooDoo II cards in tandem, but they must both be PCI.  One card
does the even lines, the other does the odd.  You'll be hard pressed to find
a monitor that can handle the frames per second with such a setup.

Just something to think about,
