I don't see much value in it as other people. The VIA chipset onboard cache is really for CPUs that don't have L2 cache like the original K6s so its there for those cpus.

Everything is fixable, but in this case it is difficult to know since you tried all of the "easy" fixes. If it was a more valuable motherboard id suggest, re cap but it's just a shitty dell you got from goodwill, that you should be thankful that it worked as well as it did for as long as it did. …
