I have tried both, and though I loved the graphics under the GTS, it wants to intermitantly "flash" across my monitor...about once every 30-40 seconds... This makes me nervous that I'm damaging my flat screen. The Voodoo doesn't do this, but the graphics don't seem as rich to me... Am I doing something wrong w/ the GTS (Geforce did it to), or is this common for a KX-133 board (K7V)?

I have a K7V as well, and have tried both the V5 5500 and the GF2 GTS. This never happened to me. What exactly is "flashing" across your screen? The only suggestion I could make is to check your recommended refresh rate for your monitor at whatever resolution you're running at. Also, maybe you need to flash the Vid Card bios for the GF2. Check your version number when the Card Bios flashes across the screen at boot-up, and compare to the version that is recommended by NVidia. For instace, Hercules has the bios update for their GF2's at their web site.
