I think the install floppy is a good, valid test of the system EXCEPT for the video card, because the install disk does not run X Windows. But in most cases the real question is if the motherboard has any incompatabilities, and the install disk should point that out... Besides, video cards are a known entity, it is really just a matter of getting the model number and looking up XFree86 compatability on the net...
