I have been using a similar setup for last 6 mos. with no problems: Abit KT7, Duron 700, Ensoniq PCI, ATI rage fury pro 128 , IBM 75GXP. Don't forget to set DMA on with hdparm for best hd performance. Load es1371 module for sound. To configure XFree86-4 see: http://avis.lightband.com/david/rage128-howto.html
