Similar system here, PII400 128MB, SBLive, V3 2000 etc.... No problems with
either the Beta drivers or the final release 1.05 drivers. Very stable in
GPL, CMR, NFSPU, TOCA2, N3, NL, SCGT and F12K.

I was a bit underwhelmed with the jump from 1.03 to 1.04, which sorted a
System Shock 2 bug but did weird things to my display size unless I fiddled
with monitor refresh rates -- and did nothing I could notice with frame
rates. So I thought I'd ask those with experience before sitting through a
10 MB download and dubious upgrade.
If it's important, my system is a PII 400 with 128 MB RAM and a Voodoo3 3000
AGP, 17 inch monitor at 1024 x 768 res and 24 bit colour.
Thanks

And don't forget that you can kiss 24 bit color goodbye. It's now 256, 16 bit or 32 bit desktop only.

I have a terrible memory. In fact it's so bad that I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Word of warning for people with the updated drivers:
If you reformat/install your computer and install the new drivers, remember
to install directx 7 or you'll think your computer is knackered - I know I
did....
