Yes, a motherboard/CPU/RAM combo is supposedly more reliable and less replaceable than therefore can be made proprietary. I have a Dell machine which is a couple of years old, and (at that point anyway) they still made all of the drives (hard, optical, floppy) standard. I would bet it will work fine.
