Possibly. I tried using my S3 Trio as a tirshiary (3rd) video card and it doesn't like slaving to another. Thus, you'd have to set it as primary and set your BIOS to search PCI first instead of AGP. It will probably work as long as it's the only PCI video card you use, or the other PCI vidcard(s) are in a later-scanned slot. Thus if you have another PCI card you'd want to set the Trio in PCI slot 1 (top).
