Probably need to move up the mobo now.
BTW, does any one know that these devices are Linux compliant?

And yea I am pretty sure you can run Linux on Sandybridge systems. Drivers for video cards though, I dunno...I've attempted to use Ubuntu and I had no idea how to get compliant drivers for some devices.

Correct me if I am wrong, the chip set (sandybridge or whatever) should not be a problem for a Linux build. The drivers for the Video and other accessories are somewhat tricky to find. Some of the older stuff like sound card or whatnot may be included in the OS image, but definitely not the video card driver and probably wireless network card.
