I have tried booting without loading anything. I pulled out every card but the MACH64, connected an IDE drive to the embedded IDE controller, removed the Adaptec PCI SCSI controller and reset the MACH to factory defaults. This did not help. If I remove the 2mb upgrade from the MACH64 it works fine in 3DS3, but I don't think that there is a hardware problem with the memory upgrade. I am able to run any resolution and number of colors in windows, with all 4mb installed. I finally broke down spent about an hour on the phone with ATI and Intel and they are blaming the Vibrant drivers. Mitch Gates (up the thread) said that he was using a Gateway 90mhz and it works fine.??? I was told that Gateway was using the same Intel board that I am using. I just got rid of a Pentium 66mhz because of compatibility problems. At least the MGAII+ 4mb in that machine worked with 3ds, even though I was never satisfied that the vibrant drivers pushed the card to its max refresh rate (it never seemed as solid in 3ds as in Windoz). I thought that I would try the MACH64 because is was cheaper and faster. This may have turned out to be another mistake. This is starting to really bother me! Let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions. Thanks SSH –Graphic Realities–
