For Pentium, its from Intel. So all nForce boards is not suitable. nForce board is only for AMD processors.
For intel processors, Pentium D is isn not supported by intel 915. You should at least get Intel 945 and above.
Best board would depends on your usage type. For example, for graphics and media creation or gaming, then use Intel® Desktop Board DG965WH. Its because it supports Supports Intel® Viiv™ technology, Intel® Quick Resume Technology and etc.
But to choose a good board you can go to intel website.
http://indigo.intel.com/mbsg/ this allows you to select your usage of the computer for either,
Gaming and media creation
Home
Enterprise desktop
enterprise server and workstation
small business/ productivity
basic
other than that, you can also select other 3rd party board like Asus, MSI and etc. or Intel own boards. Each result will show you the advange of using that board and what is supported.
For ATI x200, this isn't a mother board but graphic cards. There is AGP or PCI express graphics cards so different board can support specific card. so this information is also in the
http://indigo.intel.com/mbsg/.
Hope this info will help you to buy the correct equipment.

Go to the Intel website, www.intel.com and look up the chipsets used for Pentium products. You will probably be able to find out that way... Or try looking up Pentium D 820 and see what you find. Good luck.
