I have a different configuration, but just installed a Viper 330 AGP in my
system, so this may help.  First check your Motherboard documentation or Web
Site for instructions on using AGP.  Then, you must load the USB supplement
found on Win95 ver. 2.1 or higher CD ROM--apparently it contains files needed
for AGP to properly communicate with the O/S.  I also had to load DirectX ver.
5.  After doing all of that, then I downloaded the latest Viper Drivers from
www.diamondmm.com (specifically for AGP) and it works like a charm.   Also, the
Nvdia Chip likes to use an IRQ, check your bios setup to see if you've enabled
VGQ IRQ or something like that for your board.  Hope this helps.
