Never say never...
Gainward Geforce 3 Ti 200 arrived today, which will allow the K7M to run at 117*9.5. ForceWare driver version is 41.09, and I've tweaked as much as possible with RivaTuner to get the score as high as possible. Might be able to push the GPU futher if I can get a Ti 500 BIOS flashed onto it (higher vCore on the Ti500). Current GPU speeds are 240/530.

Here, try driver 7.76 with the Ti 200. You will have to add support for the Ti cards tho.
Open the file "NVAML.INF"
Look for [Mfg] and add this
[Mfg]
%NVIDIA&DEV_0200.DeviceDesc% = NV20,, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0200
%NVIDIA&DEV_0201.DeviceDesc% = NV20,, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0201
%NVIDIA&DEV_0202.DeviceDesc% = NV20,, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0202
Look for [Strings] and add this
[Strings]
NVIDIA&DEV_0200.DeviceDesc="NVIDIA GeForce3"
NVIDIA&DEV_0201.DeviceDesc="NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200"
NVIDIA&DEV_0202.DeviceDesc="NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500"
The plain GeForce3 should be in there already.
Try that driver and see and see what you get with that card. Also try just running DX 7. not 8.
