This seems to be an older board. AGP support is limited to 4x while current standards are 8x. I'm not a big fan of the VIA chipsets but others use them with little or no problems.
The vdimm setting limitation of 2.65 volts isn't high enough to rum a lot of the better Ram. The 3 slot ddr would indicate you cannot run dual channel ddr.
What is the manufacture and model number of this board?

its a old bored and you won't be able to put any of the newest stuff in it. And it can only use DDR266 ram and you only have 2 usb in the back. Overall not a good bored (by todays standards)
