Hello,

I am thinking of getting three upgrades for my linux box. They are: an IEEE
1394 controller card, an USB 2.0 controller card, and an IDE133 controller
card. All of them will be pci cards. Now my question is this, do I really
have to worry about compatibility issues? I know that I have to watch the
IEEE 1394 one, but what about the other two? Thanks for any and all input.
