Kernel 2.6.8 is really stale.  Right now we're on 2.6.20.  I know
quad-core is supported because there have been other quad-core chips
before the Intel quad-cores (the Sun Niagra had 16 cores IIRC) so
quad-core isn't a problem.

SATAII should be there.  My SATA150 drivers (for my desktop machine)
have been in the kernel for as long as I can remember, and I've seen
SATAII board floating around for at least two years, so I think you're
more than safe with the setup you've selected.  Buy me one while
you're at it, will 'ya ; )  That's easily 5x more powerful than my
desktop machine (which is an Athlon64 3000+ socket 754).
