I'm not sure the card... To be honest with you it was installed when I got the computer, the most I know about it is how to install the Ethernet Controller Driver, so I am a little worried about that. And as for the "Out of the Box" I downloaded my Linux, so I have no box or instruction manual, just a college campus full of computers is I so need to get help, although it's like -10 degrees out and I'd rather not be traveling tonight, but is need be, I will be.
Congratulations!! A quick check-list:
1.- Network, as you already know, this will be the most difficult part of it (if at all), so it would be nice to have the right information before hand. Do you use DHCP or static IP? What DNS or resolved through DHCP? Gateway? etc.
2.- If your NIC is embeded into your motherbaord, most likely it will be beautifully supported, check the driver in Windows HW manager, and have it handy, just in case.
3.- Regarding multimedia, you are also mostly covered, though you can work this out after installation has completed, should there be any problems. Same goes for video card support.
