I have used a sblive value and and sb pci128(ct4750)also know as ensoniq
1371.  I have had excellent results with both these cards using the OSS
drivers.

Generic Geforce 2 MX200 W/S-Videout
MSI K7T Turbo2
XP 1800+
256MB PC133
Aimslab Xtreme 98 TV Tuner <- OLD!!!
(kept the hauppauge in my main box, has FM)
80 GB Seagate Barracuda



That's about it.  Quite a simple box.
