Seeing how ATI seems to be the best card to use for running DOS apps like ArcadeOS w/Dos Mame, my computer freezes when using ATI cards with VIA chipsets. Any way around this problem without having to get a new motherboard?

What ATI card, and which VIA chipset? There are multiple varieties of these things. I'm personally using a Rage Fury Pro card (Rage 128 chipset) with an ASUS A7V133 motherboard (VIA KT133A chipset). I'm not running into any trouble with that configuration, although I use Linux, not DOS.

Select your chipset and look for the Drivers section. Make sure you've dowloaded the latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers. These may solve your problem.
My Radeon was causing GFCs in Windows XP. I downloaded both the most recent Radeon drivers for Windows (which you'll also need if you're actually booting Windows and then reverting to the command promt GUI) and the 4-1 drivers.
I installed them concurrently, and at least one did the trick.
