Seems to have all the same features based on a cursory look at retroweb, and looks compatible with my other parts. Unfortunately, the seller is away and has to refund me for the ASUS, and there aren't any others on ebay for less than 150 bucks. So I went for nforce2 and the BIOSTAR was comparably priced.

Here's the one I ordered:

Doesn't appear to have any SATA ports, but that shouldn't matter.

1.) MS-DOS 6.22, Pentium-S 90mhz, 32mb RAM, S3 Trio64, Vibra 16
2.) Windows 98 SE, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.1ghz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb, Sound Blaster Live! Value

From what I gathered, the nForce chipset is a better choice for gaming.

Socket A: Nvidia vs Via - battle of the platforms!

A-Trend ATC-1020 V1.1 ❇ Cyrix 6x86 150+ @ 120MHz ❇ 32MiB EDO RAM (8MiBx4) ❇ A-Trend S3 Trio64V2 2MiB
Aztech Pro16 II-3D PnP ❇ 8.4GiB Quantum Fireball ❇ Win95 OSR2 Plus!
