Nah; unless the AGP-port/VIA chipset/voltage reg. on the 5AGM doesn't
hack it with a V3 board my own (guesstimated) theory goes more towards
the K6 lacking PII cpu capabilities, forcing a bootup lock. 

Dunno if a K6-2 300mhz (the fastest AMD this MB can take) will help as
a short- term solution. Guess it's time to step up to the ATX crowd
(huff, puff, pant, pant etc.) and consider a Celery.

What puzzles me is that when I take the V3 out and put back the Viper
V330/Pure3D combo all things work like stink again.

Them is the breaks.  :-(
