Could someone p;ease give me a quick rundown of current AMD processors. 
I am going to build a "fast" machine for the eCS upgrade based on a 
GigaByte GA-7VAXP Ultra MB. I am confused by AMD, AMD XP and AMD XP 
Thoroughbred CPUs. Can I use the fastest I can afford or are their other 
considerations when running OS/2?
    

The processor is not much of an issue.  The MB matters more because of the
built-in peripherals.  In your case, I would start with a Google search
for:

  GA-7VAXP OS/2

and follow up if needed with a query to the

  os2hardware

Yahoo group.
