Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 and Realtek ALC663

Hi,
does anyone use wifi card: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100
and/or soundcard: Realtek ALC663
and/or Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Because I'd like to buy Asus X57VN:
: Processor
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz
:: Chipset
Intel PM45
:: RAM
3072 MB, DDR2-800, 2 GB + 1 GB
:: Graphics Adapter
NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT - 1024 MB, core: 550 MHz, ram: 400 MHz, ForceWare 176.05
:: Matrix
15,4 Zoll 16:10, 1440x900 , AU Optronics B154PW02 V2 / AUO2277
:: Harddisk
320 GB - 5400 rpm, 320GB 5400, Hitachi HTS543232L9A300
:: Soundcard
Realtek ALC663
:: Slots
1 Express Card 54mm, 4 USB, 1 Firewire, 1 VGA, 1 HDMI, 56 kb/s Modem, 1 Kensington Lock, 1 eSata, Audio Connections: micro, headset, Card Reader: 8 w 1 (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro),
:: Connectivity
Realtek RTL8168C/8111C Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC , Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 , Bluetooth
--------------------------------------------------------------
And I want to know is some issue with hardware described above especially sound, wifi and grafics.
Previously I've had intel wifi 4965 and realtek ALC268. First use iwl4965-ucode (package) and module in kernel, second causing some issue: it was necessary to add "options snd_hda_intel model=acer" to /etc/modprobe.conf.
If anyone use that laptop or some of hardware, please describe me the details about it ( firmware, /etc/modprobe.conf or any incompatibles ).
I'm interested about:
-Does nvidia 177.82-1 driver support Geforce 9650M GT,
-Does iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware and kernel module enough for Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 to work,
-Does Realtek ALC663 work smoothly (just alsa), or any /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base  options are necessary?
I'll be grateful.

I can answer about the wireless intel 5100 part. I've got an intel 5300 and it's working fine. The drivers are included in the 2.6.27 kernel so you just have to install the iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware.

I also have a 5100 wireless card and it's working perfectly on 2.6.27, no issues whatsoever.

I've got a laptop similar to the one you want to buy, and everything works just fine.
