Which board and cpu would be recommended to use with a voodoo banshee(agp) i have.
Both very similar 2x isa 4x pci or so.. 3 memory slots.
Identifiers
Intel chips with number/model E931761. Between cmos battery and front case headers.
Vs
VIA chips on the board, 6VABX2 between agp and pci
Looks like i have 2 similar pentium 3's both have on top 500/512/100
Or a slotket card that has voltage jumpers and appears to have a socket 370 celeron 400mhz (which can be overclocked more easily right)

That E931761 is likely not a model number, but a UL registration .
Do you have a board photo or an actual model ?

1. The "UL" number comes back as invalid. Picture would be most helpful indeed.

2. That is a Lucky Star board. Manual:

Bonus. Intel board has built in audio. Yamaha XG any good?
Thanks Guys'

No doubt about it: go for the Intel 😀

That's an Intel SE440BX, the first legendary i440BX board. It's stable, it's fast, far faster than boards based on the lackluster Via ApolloPro+ chipset. It has a very nice Yamaha DS-XG chips - and yes it's great in DOS and Windows.

Only downside is lack of overclocking options, but the ApolloPro+ won't overclock even if you have the options.
