The shared memory with CPU and GPU (plus with other I/O operations) may lead to slight performance degradations (e.g. bus contentions). This set-up kind of setup will severely cripple the Athlon’s performance. Similar issues when MC680x0 shares its memory/bus with Amiga’s custom chips.
It should be enough for Windows XP(with sufficient memory).
It’s recommended that one should find at least PCI Geforce 2/Geforce4 MX/ Radeon 7500 for maximising your system set-up (i.e. an attempt to free up the main bus for the CPU).
Squeezing 1.3Ghz Athlon, GPU and other I/O operations into 133Mhz SDRAM’s bandwidth is crazy….

From memory;
1. "6A6LM" = VIA KT(KM)133 chipset class.
2. "M4" = Micro-star (a.k.a MSI).
It doesn't sound familiar, and the year is not possible. The machine is from 2001.
It’s a system info utility for the Windows platform.
