I don't think any "common" 440FX board knows how to deal with 3.3 SIMMs and manuals don't mention it either. In many cases SIMM slots are placed near AT/ATX connector with very obvious direct 5v feed from PSU. Does regular EDO DIMM even work at 3.3v? Also I doubt that 440FX can work with buffered …

the downside of that board is that the HDD space limit is 8.4gb It actually isn't. This boards can work at least with 32gb HDDs, although it won't show you the correct numbers in BIOS.

my TC430HX has 512k l2 cache, USB, 3 ISA and 4 PCI, and a onboard Yamaha OPL3-SA Should be obvious choice. It can also work with AMD K6-2 unofficially.

Check the CPU temps directly without a cooler. If temperature won't start to ramp up within a minute or so, you probably have a dead VRM component.

You don't need the same board, all you need is codes for Award BIOS.

Pentium MMX 233 interprets 1.5x multiplier as 3.5x. AMD K6-2 interprets 2x multiplier as 6x (only "Chomper" version) and 1.5x as 3.5x I think Cyrix M2 behaves the same way, i.e. 1.5x = 3.5x.

However, I've swapped it over today and it's causing all sorts of errors - memory problems, graphics distortions, system hangs, CMOS errors, etc. Try to clean the contacts. Few Pentium II/III in my collection required cleaning to just work.

So, I'm thinking of getting a 512MB DDR-333 module for it. You shouldn't. Your issues are clearly not located in RAM, if memtest/prime95 don't get any errors for prolonged period of testing.
