Answer» The ole' AIMM's are not MENTIONED in the CH database, I came across one recently. I couldn't remember the meaning of the abbreviation AIMM, so i looked here, and it wasn't in the database, had too Google it.
For those of you who don't know, an AIMM is an AGP Inline Memory Module, They serve as dedicated graphics memory, but I thought they where ditched back in the days of pentium II's, evidently I was wrong. 'Cause, here sits one in a 7 or 8 year OLD PIII system.
The module I pulled from the board is below, though the device in the picture is DIFFERENT than the one i have, its the same unit.

The module was on this old Compaq board a friend gave me, its a 4MB module @ 133MHz. Its an old socket 370 Compaq desk pro board with APG. So I finally, i have a socket 370 board with APG, now i can setup an old win98/2k system for really old games once i get my hands on a 1.3GHz PIII or celeron, assuming the board supports it, i have yet too check. I'll be amazed if the old board supports this 32MB AGP nVidia MX400 card, 'cause, in this boards day, 32MB was like.. 512MB CARDS these days, though, in its day, hardware/driver compatibility was a nightmare no matter what you had. (especially if you ran windows ME, which is what i SUSPECT the Compaq this thing came out of was running)
