Is MSI K8N NEO4-F Motherboard and this setup OK?

[ANTant]

Hello,

I would like to know if this motherboard will work with this
configuration list (stuff I am about to get) and old parts (e.g., TV
tuner PCI cards, SB Audigy 2 ZS, IDE drives [DVD-ROM and CD burner, and
2 HDDs] from my current primary/gaming computer setup (see
http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt ). I am going
to replace the old Quantum 15 GB IDE HDD with a new Seagate 320 GB SATA
HDD.

Any known issues, problems, etc. that I might run into? Thank you in
advance.

EVGA's NVIDIA GeForce PCIe 7950 GT (512 MB) Video Card
Reuse old memory (2 GB)
Seagate 320 GB SATA HDD (3 Gb/sec; 7200rpm)

Any known issues, problems, etc. that I might run into? Thank you in

Should work fine, I have a Neo4 Platinum and it's been trouble free and
it's completely Linux compatible.

I'm assuming your old memory is DDR, the 939 pin uses DDR not DDR2.

Yes, old RAM is DDR. You can see my current specifications at
http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt ... I will
reuse some parts from the primary/gaming machine like PCI cards, RAM (if
939), case, all drives except the old Quantum Fireball LM 15 GB HDD,
etc.
