Even though I solved my problem by reseating the video card, I am interested
in your mention of STB's bios recommendations for the Velocity 128 and the
VP3 chipset. I am running Win98 on an AMD K6-233. I checked their site, but
could find no reference to them. Does anyone know what I should set the
aperture size and 1x/2x mode too for this chipset, OS,and video card?
