Its very likely that it doesn't run. If your board has a 2nd chip on board i.e. via re driver then you can use at least this one. -current driver and never linux drivers from nVidia also doesn't solve the problems with the guy I know with his nVidia4 based board. > SATA-Raid is not need, allthough it would certanly nice to have it.

The external speakers mini plugs that connect to the plug on the mainboard (case) sometimes don't find good contact. I would recommend a PCI based sound card. > I'm not sure about it because I have no idea if I'll ever get some 3D- > Support under amd64. You could run i386 on amd64 as I do at the moment to be able to use all ports in the ports collection. Some stuff still only runs on i386.
