Well, most mobos have 1 IDE channel, I assume for CD/DVD drives. I have a
SATA drive now, plus a 2nd IDE, but I can stick the 2nd IDE in the USB
drive bay and pull the data. I did check for the IDE channel.

The IDE is my system drive. I assume I can boot to runlevel 3, and run
the debconf utility for reconfiguring X for the new video card, and then
start runlevel 5 and be fine. I'm not running a custom kernel, so I think
I'll be okay there too.

FWIW, the mobo:
