Matt, I had the same problem when upgrading my P233MMX to an AMD K6-3/400 last week. The 3dfx reference drivers I was using for my Monster 3D no longer worked (blank screen on D3D, OpenGLfx and Glide games). I re-loaded the latest 3dfx reference drivers and it still didn't work. However installing DX7 and the latest Diamond drivers fixed the video...now if I could only get directsound working properly on the AWE64 Gold (it sounds choppy with DX7 and AMD K6-3/400). Latest SB drivers are not certified and did not fix the problem.
