Motherboard Driver

I have an Intel MotherBoard D102GGC2. I plan to remove my Windows XP SP2 and install Windows Vista Home Basic.

My question is :

1. Will my motherboard CD work on Vista?
2. DO I need to run the motherboard CD after installation?
3. Will my Audio/LAN cards function post Vista ?
4. I have an HP D2360, will I need additional drivers for Vista?
5. Which is the best Antivirus (Free) on Vista?
6. Which is the best CD/DVD writing software (Free) for Vista?
