Anyone else experiencing problems with K7-600 -G400 and Voodoo2?

System stats:

K7-600
SD11 Motherboard
256 megs Toshiba non ECC ram
Matrox G400 32meg Dual Head
SB Live! value
IBM 13.5gig HD x2 Raid
Promise Fasttrack66 UDMA raid card
Sony Supressa CD-R
Afreey 56X CD
Canopus Pure 3D II -Voodoo 2
Various HD/Card coolers/fans
Digital Doctor temp monitor
Tower Case 300 watt

Playing TFC online (as DOA).... OpenGL and Direct3D system reboots when
connecting to actual game! The driver name also does not show up.. i.e.
MiniGL or Canopus/Matrox.. etc.

Considering brining it back for a Viper Ultra or getting the GeForce....

What do you think?
