sorry for bumping an old topic, I tried Heretic II on a ASUS A7V600-X with integrated SoundMAX AD1888 sound card and it pops up the Sensaura 3DPA splash screen which means that I got A3d to work!

Update: I cleaned it up. Removed the RGB Strip and the blue LED fan. Also the original hard drive (WDC WD1600JD-22HBC0) had signs of failing, so I replaced it with a Samsung Spinpoint P80 160GB (HD160JJ), which is a good equivalent for the dead Western Digital.
