I rebuilded my PIV PC where I used Gigabyte GA-8IDX mainboard to new specs:
Mainboard: Medion MD5000, that`s oem MS-6701
CPU: Pentium IV 2.0 Northwood with 512 Kb L2 and 400 MHz FSB
RAM: 1 GB with 2 sticks of DDR333
Videocard: GeCube Radeon 9550U
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live! Value CT4670
And one USB 2.0 Card on Via chipset
Harddisk: WD Caviar 10 Gb (without any bad sectors 😀 )
Opticaldrives: LG DVD-ROM and Samsung DVD-RW
PSU: Logic 350W
At XP and 10.2 ATI driver in 3dmark2001 I have 8667 points now (with same videocard and when I used Athlon 2000+ and DDR266 RAM I have 8009 points only) and I play only Diablo II LOD with 1.13 patch and Direct3D mode and that game is completely smooth on that rig 😀 On that mainboard I can use even PIV 3.06 with 533 FSB.
