Works for me on:
Pentium M (ICH4 chipset on IBM t41)
P4/em64t (ICH6/i915 intel box) (the box that broke with 3.08)
P4/em64t (ICH7/i955X intel box)
Opteron (VIA VT8385 / K8T800)
Dual Opteron (nVidia CK804 on an HP xw9300)
VMware 5 (obviously fake, but good to know)
I can probably hunt down more boxes to test on if you'd like, but
they'll largely be similar to the above set.
