Migrating Over to Arch-Linux [SOLVED]

I've fallen in love with Arch-Linux.

Recently, I installed Arch on my little test-server and had a blast doing so. I followed the awesomely well documented beginners guide on the wiki and learned so much about Linux and how it works.

I've been running Ubuntu on my main personal computer and it has been a great introduction to Linux. It was a very simple install and it instantly detected my hardware and used the appropriate drivers. But, I've began to really admire the "The Arch Way" and want to introduce it into my everyday computing.

So, I want to install Arch on my main computer and my laptop and I was wondering one thing. If all my hardware was compatible with Ubuntu on these machines, it should work with Arch as well, right? I understand that it probably won't work "out-of-the-box" and will require some tinkering, but I just want to make sure it will be possible and that I am understanding correctly.

Any who, thats all. I will really appreciate any shared knowledge or advice.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, if you hardware all worked on Ubuntu, then you should not have any trouble with it on Arch, either.
