Do PCs with local BUS video designs generate more heat than those
without?

I was recently at a local Micro Center looking for a machine with
local BUS configuration.  A helpful salesman said they did not yet
offer one and further added that such PCs have a tendency to create
excess heat because of that configuration.  Why would that be?  He
further suggested that this could possibly cause problems for the
machine after a year or so.

That's a new one on me - at least a dozen mail order clone vendors now
offer PCs with local BUS video.  I would think they'd be doing
something right rather than setting themselves up for a warranty
nightmare.
