Gigabyte/intel boards are well supported...this should be fine.

My advice to you is to start with the basics. Read a good install how-to and you may very well solve your problems.

Why not give the live CD a try and see how you get on?

All that stuff will be fine. I think you may need the 64bit version if you want to use 4gb of RAM, but i may be wrong.

Most hardware vs Linux issues are usually with a) video drivers and b) wireless networking drivers. So it might be a good idea to post the details of any of this hardware you have.

Nope, that's only a problem in Windows, because it reserves part of the memory for system use. Shouldn't be an issue in Liunx.

But then again we also have such good 64-bit support there's not really any reason to throttle yourself down to 32-bit on Linux anyway.
