> Your system is Identical to mine (except I run a PII 350, but that shouldn't
> affect stability).  I have had no problems with N3, but right before N3 came

> completely removing the V2 drivers (mine are a pair of STB Blackmagics) in
> safe mode, then installing the drivers that came with the cards (glide2x
> version 2.50) now all of my stuff works great.  Apparently some people are
> having trouble with the latest drivers and SLI.  This might now work, my
> problem was usually a hard lock-up, but I had a couple crash to desktops.
> Also, if you do this I don't think you will be able to run anything that
