Major driver updates exist from 2.6.32.
Take a look at http://www.kernel.org for longterm kernels. So you might just need to upgrade the kernel and maybe dependencies for it.
The 790 chipset supports a maximum of 16GB ddr2 memory. DDR2 is more expensive than ddr3.
I would recommend personally, Ultimate Edition 2.6.x for this build.

Thanks for the info. I choose Ultimate Edition 2.3 specifically because of its 2.6.28 kernel, so this is what I'm trying to best accommodate. Unless you have any other suggestions for altering this parts list for better support, I'll move on to the next phase-components acquisition. I look forward to test driving Ultimate Edition!

You can get cheap Asrock 970(UEFI) series board with ddr3 support upto 64GB(single dimm 16GB are yet to release to consumer market) and an fx CPU-4300/FX-6300. Or if you can find an older cheaper CPU like athon II x4 645 or phenom II x4 955/965 ..... it would be practically cheaper buying them from the market unless you are getting yours for a killer rate.(PhenomII x6 1090/1100 are still selling sealed boxes, but they are more expensive than an FX-8320).
For a legacy build get a gigabyte 970 board instead of Asrock. Ultimate Edition 2.3 wont have much of any UEFI support for bios.
So thats basically:
gigabyte 970 series + athlon II x4 645/ Fx4300 + ddr3 ram.

I see no problems with the Phenom x4 and 2.6.30.
