Hi,
We are doing a university project in our spare time. For this we have a few desktop machines in which we need support for multiple VGA cards. The machines we have only support one VGA card at the time. The BIOS won't assign IRQs for any additional VGA cards, so we would like to try Coreboot.
Following is our system's information following the FAQ questions (http://www.coreboot.org/FAQ#Will_coreboot_work_on_my_machine.3F)
Thanks!

- Compaq Evo D310 desktop: MSI MS-6541 motherboard. CPU: Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz. Chipset: Intel 82801
82801DB* (ICH4*) actually (see lspci), 82801 is too generic.
# lspci -tvnn -[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM
Northbridge is i845, which is not yet supported, so supporting the board is not trivial. We have to add i845 (RAM init and other stuff) support first. This might happen sooner or later, but if you want to use coreboot on some hardware very soon I recommend getting an already-supported board.

ICH4 is supported in the i82801xx code, that part it OK.
Presumably Super/IO:
Winbond W39V040FAP
This is the BIOS chip rather.
SMSC LPC47b367-NC
This one is the Super I/O. No support per se (and I can't find a datasheet at the moment), but most important here is that we can enable serial COM ports in the Super I/O, which we should be able to guess and test based on other SMSC Super I/Os.

You BIOS chip is detected by flashrom, though it's marked as untested in your flashrom version (which seems to be pretty old, please update to latest svn if possible).
Whether or not writing the chip in this board will actually work cannot be said easily, you'll have to test that (make sure you have a working backup chip before doing that).
