    All;

    
    I'm thinking about getting a GIGABYTE P34Gv2-CF4 with these specs:

    
    -
    
     14.0” FHD 16:9 LED IPS Backlit Wide screen
      (1920x1080) Anti-Glare Matte Type Screen

      - 
    
     4th Generation Intel® Haswell Core™ i7-4710HQ
      (2.5GHz - 3.5GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache)

      - 
    
     NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 860M (4.0GB) GDDR5
      PCI-Express DX11 w/ Optimus™ Technology

      - 
    
     16GB DDR3 1866MHz [SKU-444BX]
      (Crucial Ballistix Sport Dual Channel Memory (2x8GB SODIMMS)) 

      - 512GB Crucial M550 Solid State mSATA
      III (Read 550MB/s - Write 500MB/s)

      - 
    
     1TB Crucial M550 SSD (Read 550MB/s - Write
      500MB/s (SATA III))

      - 
    
     Smart Li-ion Battery (4-Cell)

      
      Most of the hardware seems compatible enough, I only have 2
      concerns:

      
      1) the 512GB Crucial M550 Solid State
      mSATA III, can I install the OS & boot off this drive?

      
      2) the NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 860M
      (4.0GB) GDDR5, I've seen some posts of folks having issues with
      this card,

           will it work with the open source nouveau drivers (even if I
      get less functionality)? Or with the kmod-nvidia packages?

      
      Thoughts?

      
      Thanks in advance...
