Finally,
I’ve managed to get into X with a decent res and colour.
Although I cheated slightly. (re: my Geforce 4 post)
As I put together a new PC for a mate today, and he was so happy he gave me his old one!!
With a nice S3 Trio card inside, which installed no problem at all.
I would just like to take this moment to thank acid_kewpie, who helped me in more ways than he might think.
Hope to see you all around.
But not too soon
