My first computer had a S3 Virge 2mb built in. Does this offer 3-d support or is it 2-d only? I'm assuming the latter.

There are 3D flavors of the S3 Virge. However, their 3D support is stoneage, long before DirectX emerged to become anything near useful. You may safely assume there's no useable 3D. www.s3graphics.com

Yeah, I still have a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (S3 Virge 325 chip) operating in a K6-233, a great card for it's time. DirectX 3D support is there, but nothing flash...
