P5VD2-NVM is a PCI-E board. I can't find any download sites for your P5VD2-NVM/S, but with such a similar part number I wonder whether it's similar enough to find some info at https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5VD2VM/ If the chipset is the same, you might be able to at least get some of the …

Gigabyte 8VM533M-RZ is not compatible with AGP 3.3v physically. And according to ASUS P4V533-MX manual, none of the VIA P4M266A boards are electrically compatible with AGP 3.3v. So all motherboards on that chipset should be marked as untested, until proven on practice. Asrock M266A is known to …

My 9250 is the official, built-by-ATI 128-bit version, and it's actually a good bit slower than this 9100. It only scores 6080 in 3DMark01.

Does the SE440BX-2 work with a C3? Intel SR440BX so far does not cooperate. Maybe the BIOS does only allows intel vendor strings, just like it does not allow 133MHz FSB intel processors.
