I also found the KDE4 crash behavior with a Via chipset board, but KDE4 runs fine on Atom/D945GSE chipset boards which are also relatively underpowered. I don't think the issue is the CPU but rather something about the Via X driver. Unfortunately I gave up on that Via board before ever finding the solution so I can't be of much help.
