Long time reader here now I could use a hand.
i have a old hp mb
with a p3 @933 mhz/512 pc100- NO agp buy its self kinda slow, but i now also have a a old ATI 9250 256 meg PCI for it and have tried DSL,Puppy,Deli on it and none of them wants to work with the pci card with out it its fine but i Really wana get it working with the pci card in it.

Try ZevenOS its a live distro based on BeOS theme but uses Linux Kernel 2.6.24 and based on Ubuntu. It runs on a Pll, 128 mb ram and the live cd is packed. 600mb.
