This may sound wierd, but has anyone ever heard any sound from their rear speakers in Win2k using the SB Live! drivers that came with Win2k? I set the thing for 4 speakers but nothing. Hmmm...

Anyone notice any vid card overheating problems with SMP? I have a Viper770, Geforce SDR and Geforce DDR all overheating on different mobos. Namely a dual PIII-500 @ 2x500 or 2x560 Asus P2B-D, dual PIII-500 @ 2x500 or 2x560 MSI 6120 and a dual Celeron 366 @ 2x366 or 2x550 BP6. I tried the new 3.76 drivers to no avail. 3DMark2000 keeps sending me back to the desktop while running the benchmark and the demo. Afterwhich I touch the back of the card to find it burning hot. I haven't even started oc'ing the cards yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
