I want to upgrade the video drivers for my Viper 330 AGP (bios 1.50) and
Monster II Voodoo 8 meg cards.

Currently I am using for the Viper;   drivers (diamond)  4.10.01.0024
and In Control Tools 95 version 4.03.161.
For the Monster II drivers are the 4.10.01.00200 (original).

I would like to use the vpr0128a (newest diamond) for the Viper and the
m3dll203(newest diamond).

My current stats:
Win95B  (4.00.950b) with USB, P2-266, DirectX5 (4.05.00.0155) DFI 440LX
(P2XLX
rev A+) motherboard, 64 meg, Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 87TXM monitor (I am
using the 87TXM inf file for my settings), atapi internal zip, SB 64
awe, cdrom and USR X2 voice modem.

My questions are:
1.  Which do I install first?  The new viper drivers or the monster2
drivers?
2.  I understand the new 128a drivers replaces the In Control Tools 95
with In Controls 98.  Any problems with that?
3.  Any conflicts?
4.  Any specific info or suggestions?
