AFAIK soundblasters work fine. I have SB16. Friend of mine has SB awe32.
Both work fine.

>also, under what conditions will I ever need more than 2 gig to run linux?


not a valid question.
On my desktop Linux takes up about 800 MB, 250 or so taken up by Quake II.
On my server Linux takes up 1.2 gig, 1 gig is taken up by the ftp archive.
