I don't know anything about the 845G based motherboards, but the system
I'm using for Linux based development here at work is built on an intel
D845EBGL motherboard, which uses the 845E chipset.  Working great,
except for the built in audio, which isn't currently supported.  Intel
P4/2.2GHz CPU, 1GB PC255 RAM, etc.
