I've been doing a lot of reading and apparently to get my Leo install working 100% I'm going to need to just completely replace those two components. I currently have a 512mb 7600 GS AGP card, which from what I understand no one is able to get working ( although someone please correct me if I'm wrong ). What I would like is either an AGP or PCI video card (I don't have PCI-E) that works out of the box with QE / CI, etc. Preferrably the cheaper the better... I don't game - I jst want something that will give me the full eye candy and play back smooth video.

Secondly, I currently have an onboard VIA VT6122 Gigabit LAN adapter but it doesn't look like there's any driver support for it ( again someone correct me if I'm wrong ). So I'd like a cheap PCI network card that works out of the box as well. Thanks!

Radeon HD 2600 XT? nvidia 7300gt?

I'd have thought 7300gt
and realtek 8169 lan

But if your unsure, read some more posts you'll soon find out whats working and what isn't

X1600pro is working perfectly, but maybe it's a bit old. Network drivers: It depends on what u need. I used for long my standard nForce 4 LAN adapter, but If I'm doing network with other Macs one of the computers crashed with a kernel panic at large files. I switched to the 2nd LAN-port of my board, its a Marvell chip, and this works fine. So try one with a Marvell Gigabit 88E1115 chipset, it works with skge.kext.
