Hi all

I am about to upgrade the hw in my pc.  I currently have:

1 x 128MB PC133 SDRAM
crappy 1MB S3 PCI graphics card
AC97 onboard sound

Changing the above with:

2 x 512MB PC133 SDRAM (not sure whether to leave the old RAM in also)
nVidia GeForce2 MX400 64MB AGP graphics card
Soundblaster Live 5.1 sound card

If I boot linux after doing the following, is the new hardware likely to 
be recognised? :

- ensure harddrake and kudzu run on boot,
- shut down the computer
- swap the RAM modules
- install AGP graphics card
- install sound card
- boot into BIOS settings and
- - - disable onboard sound
- - - enable AGP graphics

Or should I install one thing at a time?  Is there anything tricky I need 
to know about installing RAM?  I'm just trying to avoid reinstalling LM8.1.

Other relevant bits are:  Soltek SL-KAV75 mobo and Athlon TBird 1.0GHz CPU.

TIA
skinky
