I can't comment on the video cards, but the realtek NIC chipset might=20 cause you some problems. I recently had to replace a realtek based NIC=20= in a lowend server with a 3com because of oversized packets in the logs=20= and the server would halt after about a week up. If you are using the=20= machine casually it should be ok, but if you plan to leave it up I'd=20 recommend getting a different NIC. Sound blaster live cards should work in later 5.x releases. I know=20 5.2.1 suports them. AMD processors work really well with FreeBSD.
