I have the exact same board and processors at home.  I only have 1GB RAM, so I 
can not rule the RAM quantity out for you.

I have installed both FC2 & FC3 on that box.  I never downloaded any 
additional drivers for the SATA (I have 160GB SATA Western Digital drive).  
Both releases just worked right out of the box.
