Thanks.
I've done it: (Control Panel-Display-Advanced-Standard VGA 16 colours
card, -shutdown, olde Viper330/Pure3D out, -V3 in, Power ON and once
again --> the system hangs pre-POST and locks up. No matter how I
fuddle about in BIOS during SETUP this rig locks up.
<Got an Award BIOS dated 03/04/98 with lots of bells & whistles.>

My theory being that the Chaintech 5AGM/Via VP3 chipset combined with
266 mhz K6 (not K6-2 3D-Now etc.) can't hack a V3.

Anyone got an idea about K6-V3 compatibility vs. K6-2/III ditto?
(I've been to AMD's site and they only list 1 year+ old hardware
as "compatible" etc.)
