It's an Asus P5 something something motherboard, with a builtin Intel 
945GM chipset...I think. Been a while, since I've been using a fanless 
Nvidia 9500GT board in it since about 2 weeks after Isaac released the 
first myth svn trunk version of vdpau!

I'll have to do a parallel installation to test, but that's not too 
hard. I'll just carve a 10Gig partition out of the back of my 1T /video 
disk and use that.
