Yes, this is a newbie question...sorry

I presently have an ECS K7S5A motherboard with an SIS-735 chipset. I'm running an AMD XP2000+ CPU. I am considering upgrading to the ECS KT-600 Motherboard with a VIA KT600 Chipset:

The Board does have SATA ports, which I will not be using. I will more than likely upgrade to an XP2600+ or higher CPU.

My question is simple: will Fedora survive the transition and/or what should I expect in terms of results?

If you are buying another ECS mobo, then you have not had to contact ECS support. ;-)

The transition should go very smoothly. The AGP port for the VT600 chipset is not well supported with the 2.4 kernels, so if you are looking for fast 3D graphics, you will probably want to go to a 2.6 kernel.
