So after quite a while Laughing Out Loud I've finally decide to crank this shit up pretty high, unfortunately this beautiful setup keeps bringing me down. First of all, I need to mention a couple of changes to the setup:

MOBO: ASUS PVI-486SP3 Rev 1.8 (planning to use 1.2 from tomorrow)
CPU: CPU Am5x86 ADZ 133MHz
RAM: 2x 16MB 70n FPM
VGA:: STB Velocity 4400 aka TNT RIVA 16MB with Voodoo2 12MB PCIs
AUDIO: CMI8738 PCI
Storages: 1GB WD, 56x Acer CD-ROM, FDD

Plus the Video Blaster VT300.

Well, let's get to the point - I really cant get it work with the TNT card with both Glide and D3D functioning properly - I've tried almost all drivers beginning with 3.xx to 30.xx, where not all "xx" have been tested (working on it right now). I am desperate here, trying both DX6.1 & 7, testing it on GL/D3D Quake and Interstate '76. Even the 2D games won't run when using some drivers, I really start to feel that I should declare TNT not working with this particular board Sad.

I will provide some screenshots as soon as I find something besides imageshack...

PS: Everything else works smoothly & I just copied this text from an older entry of mine, just to put into the spotlight. I apologize for this inconvenient workaround.

MOBO: PVI-486SP3 Rev 1.2
CPU: POD-83
RAM: 2x16MB
VIDEO: Matrox Millenium 2MB/Voodoo2 12MB/Video Blaster VT300
AUDIO: SB Vibra16 FM
SCSI: 72GB 15k RPM HDD/YAMAHA CD-RW 16x/ZIP drive + FDD drive
NIC: 3Com Etherlink III
PSU: 230W Generic
OS: Win95 OSR2.5

How would a Vanta do on a 486?
