purchase new AMD64 desktop PC system


i am thinking of purchasing a brand new AMD64 desktop PC system.
Would like to know which 3D display card, sound card, network card, monitor, motherboard, modem....etc work very well with linux's device driver.

Please advice. Thanks.

I would suggest starting in the HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) here on LQ. There's a link to it in the top navigation bar.

For Mainboard: NFroce Chipset is a good choice, there usually is sound and network on board and it works both under linux out of the box ( well in Slackware, but nvidia provides drivers, just in case )
Graphics Adapter is the same. nvidia since they have quite a good driver support for linux.

About Modem - I don't have don't know what works
