This eCS 1.1 machine has a 2.8G Prescott and 512M (2X256) of generic
DDR2, bought about 8 weeks ago from Newegg: http://tinyurl.com/565ya

http://tinyurl.com/9km8d is the Giga-Byte I considered but rejected in
favor of the Tidalwave, as it, like virtually all the latests Intel
chipset motherboards do not provide AGP slots. My nephew did buy one of
those GigaBytes for his LAN server, but he hasn't tried OS/2 on it (SuSE
9.2 he did install).

Whatever you buy, make sure it does NOT have a Marvell NIC, as AFAIK no
one has reported finding OS/2 drivers for it.
