That is the exact setup I run over here (plus and extra 8 megs ram, and my 
CPU 
is clocked up to a 160 instead of 133). Nice choice! =-)

I have ran all of the above setup sand OS/2 is by far the best/fastest/stable
setup for my system that is out! I run OS/2 4.0 on my AMD 5X86 16 megs ram 
with
no problems... It runs for days without a reboot (Which usualy is caused by
something that I changed) ;-)

Take a look at it, and ask any questions that you may have. You will be very
happy with your OS/2 setup. Guarenteed!
