To answer part of your question, yes generic drivers can be used on a Monster3D2 ! Under 98/Me/2K I used generic drivers for my two boards (8Megs each) in SLI mode (resolution 1024*768 available this way) !
As for Windows XP, I don't really know, I don't use them anymore thanks to my Radeon 7500. I read many threads about the subject and there still seem that there are no drivers that can handle glide+D3D+OpenGL (it was the case back under Win98)...
Hope this helps you a little...
