No problems, except since you need to buy a new mainboard anyway, you should upgrade to a Socket A instead of a Slot A. The CPU will be a little cheaper and the board has a better upgrade path. Socket A goes beyond the 1 Gig level and Slot A is limited to 1 Gig. I just upgraded my board to the ABIT KA7-100 (Slot A) because I intended to keep using my old Athlon 600, which was slot A. I have been using it with Linux and FreeBSD for over a year without a problem.
