I hate the idea of getting on-board sound (because my SB Audigy will become useless) but I guess you can't run from that, neither from on-board eth (I already have two net cards). If anyone has any advices about the config above, let me know, and Bob, it was nice to see you have a stable system running with your config, it kinda makes me more confortable on changing archs.
