The vogons wiki socket 370 page (https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_ … 70_motherboards) doesn't say whether any Via CPUs are supported, so it's possible that none will be properly supported. It may simply not know the registers to set them up on official BIOSes. The Gigabyte is listed as supporting Via but not Tualatin, so is probably just too old to know Nehemiah

The thing with the VIA list is that at some point I got it as-is.
I basically just copy-pasted the list once it disappeared from the VIA website. It offered no explanation, so my best guess is that you'd have to check individual motherboard manuals if you want to know particular VIA CPU compatibilities.

Other than that, these days there's also cpu-upgrade.com which imo is actually a fairly good resource (though one should keep in mind that taking a shortcut by using a 3rd party resource is always at your own risk).

Ah, yes - I had forgotten about cpu-upgrade.com. I tend to check them before I buy boards they list 😀

It's a fine addition in my book 😀

Well, turns out both the Ezra and Nehemiah processors work just fine on my Asus P3B-F rev 1.03 board with the MS-6905 slotket. Even thought it's using an older chipset than either of the other two boards. Score +1 for the good old 440BX.
