Mayby I could take one of the ram sticks and put in in the Intel D945GCLF2 board...
Or.... Ik could use this Asus based computer as base to try and install Amithlon on! Do any of you have thoughts on the feasability of that idea, in regards to the compatibility of the Asus P5K-VM board?

I don't expect the nVidia Quadro FX 3500 PCI-e card to function other than VESA unaccelerated screen modes. SATA optical drives aren't supported in linux kernel 2.4 so Amithlon can't support them either. And of course you'll need to remove 3 GB of ram.

will give you a good base of what can work and/or what should work.
Amithlon is very picky about it's hardware and you have to think 1999/2000 hardware and maybe a few years plus. I've been looking at what is supported and seeing if I can push into "newer" versions of what was supported, of course graphics cards still relying on the specific supported cards.
