TNT2 and dual processor system

[EM 0]

Anybody had any luck with any dual processor system, TNT2, and ANY TNT, Detonator, Geforce, whatever video drivers? I cannot get my system to pass even the most basic tests (ie: directx diagnostic) without a hard lockup if I use any video card based on TNT2 chipset. My same system with a Voodoo3 runs just fine. Not running any background tasks at all.

 

Specs are:

Supermicro P6DBE

Dual PIII 600

128 meg ram

IBM 15g HD

Toshiba 6x DVD

Win2k Pro Retail.

My TNT2 Ultra runs fine with my Dual Celeron 433@507.

Maybe a problem with the powersupply ?

The TNT2 consumes more power than specified for AGP (I think the Voodoo3 does it too).

Test the card with annother mainboard.

I have tried it with 2 different ABIT BP6 boards which my other two computers are running on with the same results. My power supply is 300 watt Supermicro full tower server case.
