it is one of those..please report back with the PCB ID (something like 35-C918-XX) AND the code of the PLL (that's the clock generator on the mainboard and it should be either W83194R-39A or ICW-144).

upgrade your chipset/video drivers first and make sure you have 512MB or at the VERY least 256MB of internal memory.
