To my experience  X850  with SNAP   much faster  than any other add-on video card  with Panorama.

But video  integrated  into CPU (not just on-board chip) on Panorama - sometimes much faster than X850  with SNAP.

Thank you, I'm probably going to go with the above the video card alone cost over $100.

But I am definitely going to check out the Asus P5B Deluxe and some others with a X850 PE. And just use the Asus 8400GS Video Card on my other build til I get a high end card or see if the integrated GPU works.


CORRECTION - I probably can find it all new for that, but I want it now ;)

I stopped building my own computers. If you want to build your own, I can understand that.

A quick look at e-Bay found this system for under $100 including shipping, which will run rings around what you propose to build. Graphics are built into the CPU, so I would use Panorama.

I do not know this seller, nor anything about the system other than that I have been using used Lenovo computers for some time, and I like their excellent manuals.

Be careful   with  new  mobo  -  most of them map little memory below the 4G border.
One more issue - missing BIOS or CSM mode  - OS/2 cannot boot at all.
Another issue - on-board net and sound are not supported in OS/2   and   no slots to insert add-on cards.
