hardware for lucid

[Jon Shorie]

Next week I plan to begin upgrading machines to lucid.  We have 3 desktops that I am going to start with.  I am sending this message to see if anyone on the list can see any gotchas before I begin.  I plan to do full fresh installs on all three of them.  Here is the hardware:

Batman
Motherboard:	Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L Intel G31 chipset
CPU:			Intel Celeron Dual Core E3200
Hard Drive:	SDA  Western Digital 200G WD200 Blue Edition   (system drive)
			SDB  Western Digital 500G WD5000AAKS Blue Edition   (home directories)
DVD			LG 12X DVD-ROM
Memory		2 sticks of Kingston DDR2-667 1GB for a total of 2GB
Video Card	PNY Geforce 7300GT 256MB
Network Card	Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (PCI)
Power Supply	Antec BP350 Basic 350 Watt Power Supply
Case			Norco RPC-800 Rack Mount
Monitor		LG 19" CRT Monitor (needs to do 1280x1024 @ 75 hertz if possible)

Tetra
Motherboard:	Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L Intel G41 chipset
CPU:			Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400S 
Hard Drive:	SDA  Intel X25V 40GB SSD  (system drive)
			SDB  Western Digital 1000G WD10EADS Green Edition     (home directories)
DVD			LG 12X DVD-ROM
Memory		2 sticks of Crucial DDR2-800 2GB for a total of 4GB
Video Card	PNY Geforce 8600GT 256MB or 512MB (not sure)
Network Card	Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (PCI)
Power Supply	Antec BP550Plus 550 Watt Modular Power Supply
Case			Ultra Mid Tower Case
Monitor		Asus VW266H 26" LCD 1920x1080 LCD Monitor

Rockfish
Motherboard:	Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L Intel G41 chipset
CPU:			Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 
Hard Drive:	SDA  Western Digital 1000G WD10EADS Green Edition
DVD			LG 12X DVD-ROM
Memory		2 sticks of Crucial DDR2-800 2GB for a total of 4GB
Video Card	PNY Geforce 8500GT 256MB
Network Card	Intel 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (PCI)
Power Supply	Coolmax 600 Watt Modular Power Supply
Case			Ultra Mid Tower Case
Monitor		(2) Samsung 2220 WM running dual monitor.

Batman and Tetra are currently running the KDE3.5 remix of kubuntu 9.10.  Rockfish is running Mepis 8.0.06.  We plan to finally make the switch to kde4 with this release.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I have had a problem with Batman only being able to run at either 1600x1200 or 1024x768 resolution under Karmic, so I am interested in any advice offered.  Thanks.
