Ahh... Well, I've got 3 working cards - an CL TNT1 AGP, a Hercules TNT1 AGP, and an STB TNT1 PCI. The Herc doesn't like Win2k, and even has a few driver issues in Win98.. The STB works fine now after a few changes to the ole' BIOS (vga frame buffer setting to OFF)
As for the Herc... After playing with a few BIOS settings, I resolved the problems that Win98 was giving me - primarily texture artifacts (very bad) in Quake2 - but in Win2k, it still won't take a driver change. It always defaults to the VGA driver for some odd reason. I do know that the Herc doesn't use a reference design for the board, as it looks radically different (and much smaller) than my other TNT cards.
My mobo is a Diamond/Micronics C200 [bios rev 1.06] which is actually a BCM/GVC board, but I can't remember the BCM model#. I'm using BCM's 1.06 reference BIOS at the moment, because Diamond's latest rev is 1.04...
Anyway. The current status is that changing drivers to the TNT driver on the Herc card has no effect at all. I've tried changing from the one that comes with windows to every driver version I could find for Win2k - from 3.53 to 3.69. It just doesn't want to work. It works fine in '98 and BeOs, but not in 2k....
Thanks for the help...
