The new board is probably ATX. If your p/s isn't, you'll have trouble.
If your case isn't, the connectors may not line up right. Linux
shouldn't care.
I think you'll see a more noticable jump in performance if you upgrade
the HD to ATA-100 or Ultra-wiz-bang SCSI than from more memory and RAM.
Let me know if I'm wrong, it certainly depends on what you use it for.
