That's the one I got as a fairly quiet (and small) work machine
replacement. Works fine. My only complaint being that it doesn't seem
to like ECC DDR modules (which a i845 _should_ support as far as I
know), but maybe the ones I had lying around were bad.

Yes.

No need to disable apic, it works fine on the i845GE board.
One comment: if you're going to use the built-in graphics (which work
fine - even 3D is quite respectable for "everyday" usage), I'd get
DDR-333 memory, since the UMA memory model means that especially at
higher resolutions you _will_ be losing part of the memory bandwidth to
the graphics.
