No... Why would it? As long as it has the modern connectors it'll work.

  1. Please don't install Windows by CD, use USB

Please don't install drivers by CD, use USB, or the manufacturer's website.

Nope. But i would recommend downloading the drivers from the likes of Intel and from your mobo manufacturer website; those driver install discs never install them correctly and use outdated drivers. Or at least from what i've experienced.
