Thanks everyone for all their suggestions so far. I've already purchased an ATI X800XL PCIe card, and I'm trying to decide between these 3 motherboards (unless you have a better suggestion):
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D http://www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3471&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=US ASUS A8V-E Deluxe http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socket939/a8v-e-d/overview.htm MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=637 I'm weary of all the mentions of NForce this and NVRaid that -- how well supported is any of this in Linux? Am I going to have to be constantly installing binary drivers just to keep my system stable? Ideally, I don't want to have to use any binary drivers for anything. Last round of suggestions please.
