Uh-huh, and I don't drink coffee so you can see why it's frustrating. :)

The CMOS has an option that says "Assign IRQ for VGA" but the only two
selections are "Auto" and "Disable".  Either way, it doesn't assign an
IRQ. :(  Any ideas?

There's no "AGP speed" option but there is an AGP Aperture option which
I sent to 32MB (there is 128MB in the machine).

The motherboard is a 440LX.

I previously had an SiS 6326 card in here but that ran even slower than
the S3 so I changed it back.

Any suggestiosn?  Thanks for your help. :)
