This is not so easy, and part of the reason I think there is no 
fix yet. Only, if you have crashes when trying 3D apps which magically
go away when you use the nopentium stuff it is likely you are affected.
As far as I know the problem started in with the 750 Mhz series, but I 
could be completly wrong. (cannot find any good info about it).

huh? I do not understand what you mean.
The problem (IIRC) is that memory allocated for AGP is also alocated for 
other stuff. This causes memory to be corrupted. If you are not using an AGP 
driver, nothing gets doubly allocated and there is no problem.
As I understand it now, kernel developers are trying to find out a 
different way to see if the memory is mapped already, this would fix the 
issue in a good way.
