Does anyone know whether or not the Diamond Stealth III S540 is fully compatible with S3's "Savage4 (394-398) Drivers" found here http://www.s3graphics.com/en/drivers/legacy_s … re_archive.aspx? I know the card uses a Savage4 chip, but I just want to be certain about the drivers. I am interested in using it in a retro gaming PC, but am primarily concerned about getting it to function properly in Windows 3.11. It appears that Diamond never offered their own official drivers for the card under that OS.
I'm also interested in knowing whether or not the card will work with an overclocked AGP bus. I'll be using the card in an Asus P3B-F which has the Intel 440BX chipset. To get the full speed on my processor, I've overclocked the FSB to 133MHz, which unfortunately also overclocks the AGP bus. I've read that this causes problems for some AGP graphics cards. More information on the Intel 440BX chipset here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_440BX.
I haven't purchased a Diamond Stealth III S540 yet, but I would prefer to use AGP if at all possible because I have no more free PCI slots. Thanks guys.
