Comes with a Athlon 64 and ATI graphics, wired gigabit ethernet and a Broadcom 802.11g wireless: [root@golem2 xxx]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 47 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1000.000 cache size : 512 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm bogomips : 1995.51 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc [root@golem2 xxx]# lspci <snip> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) <snip> 03:06.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Pretty cheap. Note: I use ndiswrapper for the Broadcom wireless. The bcm43xx driver truly sucks rocks for me.
