I'm using DX6.1, and I'm not having any problem with FF7 at all.  I just
grabbed the newest Diamond Viper V550 drivers along with DX6.1... and then
used the FF7 RivaTNT patch.  Everything is working perfectly.  I even
updated myself to the deonator reference driver from nVidia, and
everything's still working properly(however.. the Detonator driver has
little kinks with my multi-monitor set-up.. unrelated to anything else, of
course).

I'm just using DX 6.1 because it's available, of course.  One of the main
feature for DX 6.1 is the support for SIMD for the Pentium III... I don't
have a Pentium III.. so that really doesn't make any difference.
