The models are SK41G which are Via 233 Mhz bus, use PC2100 RAM. You
can also go with an SK41G2 which is a 333 Mhz bus and uses PC2700 RAM.

I've had ZERO driver problems with these units. Just installed a
third one yesterday. A reasonable dealer is www.amax.com

Let us know what you end up doing?

Good luck.
