   i would start by finding out what chipset the NIC and Sound are using   
   and see if there is a driver for it on bebits.   
   as far as the ATI card goes, i've had bad luck with VESA drivers and   
   ATI.  mileage may vary.  I haven't seen any drivers for the new ATI   
   cards but you may check bebits for that as well.   
   an even easier way to see if the hardware is supported (by a base   
   install atleast) is to get xbeox live cd and boot it up off that.
