Good grief, your English suddenly crashed! It is important to make your posts easy to read. Let me give you some tips:
1. sentences start with an upper-case letter.
2. there is a whole line between paragraphs.
3. there is one idea per paragraph.
4. there is a space after most punctuation.
5. avoid l33t sp33k abbreviations like u for you.
6. the "I" is always upper case when referring to yourself.
7. when you refer to something said elsewhere, try to provide a reference in the form of a hyperlink.
8. proper names start with upper case letters.
9. acronyms are upper case.
10. don't assume that everyone automatically understands your context - eg. when you are asking about a motherboard, actually use the word "motherboard" or "mobo" and not just the product numbers. Don't force us to guess.
There's more, but ten should be sufficiently demoralizing for now
So if I parse your last post - it ends up looking like this:

Well, I get the desktop cube, wobbly, fade, and cube unwrapping effect. Nothing more. That is OK, but I heard Ubuntu does not support D101GCC mobo, is that true??? (Since I wanted to try out the studio edition.)
Moreover, one last question... how do I design themes for Mandriva? I've done skins for mediaplayer and winamp in the past (now working on xp themes) so it would help me if you could show me the way.....

To actually answer your post, as I interpret it above:
1. There is nothing in the listed specs which is explicitly unsupported in Ubuntu 8.04. Can you provide a reference?
graphics = radeon X300, which is RV370 chipset - supported by the free radeon driver.
audio = Realtek* ALC861 which does have issues in linux - generally it works with the intel hda audio driver but there is no second guessing the exact setup.
lan = Realtek* 8101L - there have been issues with realtek lan cards in the past, I doubt there will be trouble with this.
Probably what you should try is running the benchmark accessory and seeing what happens to your load with different effects. You'll probably find that the videocard is not up to it indeed.
2. "Mandriva" is a gnulinux distro - it doesn't
have themes. However, many of the programs that make up the distro do have themes. The method of creating them depends on the application.
Do you mean
desktop themes? Is this for Gnome or KDE or XFce or what? Perhaps you want to create Compiz-Fusion window decoration themes - for Emerald? Or do you mean MPlayer themes? Something else? (Freedom means choice.)
The different projects have information about their themes - most applications are standardizing on XML these days so you often only need a pre-packaged example: unpack it, read the files. XML tends to be self documenting.
