Personal opinions aside, the FAT32 drive *is* an issue if you want to access
it from NT or if it's the boot partition (NT can't boot from a FAT32 C:
drive).  The video driver is also an issue - if it's not in the supported
list, you may not get the features you desire (maybe plain ol' VGA) unless S3
(or the card's manufacturer) has a driver for it.  I would expect that the
video card is supported but wasn't available when NT 4.0 was introduced.  You
can't support what isn't in existence...
