i thought i would get the same configureations as you, but turned out it wasnt equipped with a SATA drive so i cant say for sure, but i heard that it should work...
I did get a samsung syncmaster 191t, a TFTscreen and it works just fine
And, be sure to read some about xp and linux dual booting...some work to do...nto hard...
good luck
