I'm looking into buying a Pentium-based system with the following specs:

90Mhz Pentium.  Motherboard has 2 PCI, 4ISA, 1 shared, Neptune chipset.

Matrox PCI video controller.
BusLogic PCI SCSI controller.
1.06Gig SCSI disk.

Does anyone have any experience with similar systems, or know of
reasons why this system wouldn't work with FreeBSD or NetBSD and
XFree86?

Thanks,
