Post subject:  [HELP] - Is this hardware working ?

I have bought an HTPC on ebay:

Well,MCE is a pain in the ass! I stopped to using win years ago,and I forgot how unstable was (and is!!).
So,I decided to move to KnoppMyth! I'm thininkg to wipe out MCE completely,but I have to be sure that all my hardware is working in orderd to have a minimun downtime (or my girlfriend kills me!!) ;)

From the win panel control I have this information:
CPU: Intel P4 3.2GHz
Hd: MAXTOR 6L250S0 SATA
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache
NIC: Intel Pro/100 VE Network Connection
Sound: Terratec Aureon 7.1 Space connected to an ampi via optical.
TV Turner: Haupage WinTV PVR PCI II (26xxx) (Hauppauge Amity 2)
Motherboad: Not sure about the exact model,but the chipset is Intel 82801FB
Remote: Microsoft eHome
Keybord & mouse : Logitech USB wireless
Multiple Card reader: don't know nothing,but not important!

Is this hw ok with the 5A22?
Dual boot is not so important if every piece will work fine (even if it won't work out-of-the-box!)

Thanks a lot!
Alex

The TV tuner is the only thing that looks iffy. I've never heard of that model. I'd suggest a web search to see if it works w/ Linux.
