I don't have an answer, but if it's any consolation I have 2 Maxi Gamer
3D cards (SLI) and they work fine, so at least you know it's not the
card.  

I do have a minor problem, though.  I updated the drivers to Glide 2.53
(which cleaned up some video problems) and lost the ability to disable
v-sync in the display control panel thing (the option isn't there in the
updated version).  That's the difference between 36 and 30fps on my
machine.  Does anyone know if there's an .ini file somewhere to change
the v-sync?  I can't find one.
