Hi everyone.  I just picked up a V5 5500 agp to replace an old TNT2/V2 SLI configuration in my retro-build.  Upon installation I completely wiped the hard drive and re-installed Win98SE.  Upon initial boot the Card works fine with the default VGA windows dispaly driver.  The second I apply any V5 OEM or 3rd Party driver the computer freezes when booting Windows and displays some odd artifacts.

To Note I have also attempted to boot this card in 2 separate machines and with Windows XP all with the same results.  Any help to get this card working would be great.

Machine 1:
Asus P3V4X with 1005 and 1006.004 bios tested
PIII 600E
1Gig of RAM
300 Watt PS
V5 5500 AGP w/ 1.06 AGP Bios and 1.18 AGP Bios


Machine 2:
Intel SE-BX
PII 400
256 Meg RAM
300 Watt PS
V5 5500 AGP w/ 1.06 AGP Bios and 1.18 AGP Bios



Could the 300 Watt Power Supply be the issue once I apply the V5 drivers?  Could the card require more juice than my old PSU's are handing out?
