It appears that early versions of the Super 7 Mother Boards do have a problem
with the Viper and TNT Riva Chipset. The newer ASUS boards do support it. I use
the ATI Expert@play 8 meg AGP2X version in an early Super 7 Board with no
problems. I also use an add-on 3D accellerator from Canopus and it works great.
So you might want to think about using an add-on accelerator for 3D.
