but apparently can be used for power delivery (assuming connected devices support it) Yes, IDE DOM devices usually can work with that pin. I suppose you can deduce expected power delivery from DOM datasheets.
Re: Asus CUV266 Apollo Pro266 chipset USB doesn't work in any way!

USB killed by short circuit or static discharge was quite a common thing. For example, Intel ICH5 motherboards had infamous reputation due to poor USB protection.

First of all, you need to check if USB can properly work at all. Plug in simple USB mouse. If it won't work, then it could indicate that USB is dead on south bridge level.

I would compare these two and call it a day: Abit AN7 - nforce2 ultra 400 with sound storm Abit KW7 - via kt880 Although, I think there won't be major difference between them in typical RAM and/or AGP oriented benchies. Major difference probably would be hiding in PCI, integrated I/O and CPU …

You can squeeze somewhat playable frame rate in Duke Nukem 3D SVGA on specific PCI motherboards with 180 Mhz AMD 5x86.

It doesn't matter how much ram is reported by some software or card BIOS. If 1024x768 24-bit color mode is not available or working buggy, then it's only 2 Mb :3

Get a faster card like a VLB TSENG Tseng card won't be faster. Especially when it comes to VESA.
Re: Windows XP on SD card

I think it's not worth any concern at this point. SD cards are easily replaceable and with such high capacity it won't die fast anyway. The thing is that IDE hard drives are becoming scarce They aren't and won't be for any foreseeable future. At least when it comes to high capacity drives (20+ Gb). …

as I said, in those mid-to-late 90's times there were several competing 3D technologies And like I said, it's mostly worse experience, compared to software on powerful CPU or 3dfx.

909 chips are uncommon occurrence on normal Tseng cards. I think they were mostly used on shorter PCB variations without additional sockets for extra RAM. They are pretty much useless in 4 chips config.

DX9 cards are bottleneck for games after 2007. Some top tier beasts like 1950XTX were fine until 2008 though, but they are not available on AGP.

You need SciTech Display Doctor aka Univbe for ARK2000. It won't hurt for Tseng cards too. You may also want to bench Quake with vid_nopageflip "0" or "1" command, which may improve performance. Also vid_wait should be set to 0. I would place both the Tseng RAMDACs above your bog stand NVIDIA RIVA …
