Hello, I hope this is the right part of the forums for system-wide questions. I'm building a new system and wanted to know if I should anticipate any problems with GPU/processor/board, but that would have required several different posts in the various subforums. Please let me know if this wasn't the right way to go about it.
I last used Linux with about Mandrake 8.2 (before they became Mandriva); a kernel panic and lousy WINE/Cedega support for Windows games at the time drove me back to a Win2k solution so I could actually play things with the rest of my family. Cedega seems to have come a long way, and we're just starting the process of upgrading systems, so I wanted to run the following build past you:

- Asus GeForce 8600GTS 256MB video card
- ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 motherboard (I don't need/want SLI, but they don't hardly seem to sell MBs without it these days)
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Brisbane 2.7GHz Socket AM2 65W processor
- OCZ Platinum 2GB DDR2-800 SDRAM (I don't think there'd be any compatability issues with memory sticks, but you never know)
- Rosewill case, Antec earthwatts 430W PSU, Seagate Barracuda 250GB HD, etc.
