Are you at at least Service Pack3? You should be using Service Pack 6 but
typically 3 is the minimum for some video cards. Are you sure your loading
the exact NT drivers from IBM's site? NT is very, very picky about drivers
and you must be using the driver that supports NT.

The IBM 300PL uses the S3 Trio video chip.
This chip is AGP based, You must install Windows NT Service
Pack 3 or later (preferrably 6a) to use AGP video cards.
Windows NT will automatically recognize the card once the
Service Pack is installed and rebooted.
