All of these devices should work with RH7.  I have a gateway system with 
similar hardware that has run every version of RH since 5.2  The only 
exception is the ethernet card, which I think is a rtl8136 chip.  To get the 
rageII to work, I had to use frambuffer driver.  To get the soundblaster to 
work, you need to run sndconfig as root.
