I just upgraded my CPU on my Asus P3B-F from a Celeron 400 to a PIII 800 and
now N3 locks up on me.
Before the CPU change, N3 worked fine in 1024X768.
I am using the lastest Nvidia Detonator 3 drivers and also the latest BIOS
for the Asus P3B-F.
The game locks up when I try to go to RACE at the track, the video locks
with the view of the cockpit in the pits. The keyboard does not function
but the sound keeps working and the pedals still work because you can hear
the car accelerating and then crashing into the pit wall or other cars
(can't tell which one).
I have to shut the computer off to get out of the screen.
I am using a SoundBlaster PCI128 and have 128Mb of ram.

I had the same exact problem on my Athlon-800 Prophet-II (GeForce-2). It was
caused by me upgrading to the nVidia reference drivers. I went back to the
5.22 drivers specifically for my card and all is well.

I am still having problems with 3D games.

There have been 3 different
versions. The latest is the 631 version. It only came out a couple of weeks
ago, so perhaps you don't have it.
Good luck.
