	  I'm wanting to purchase MICRONs P133PCI Millennia Plus (A)
  (see description below) with 8 additional MB of memory.  My questions
  are:

  (1)  Will FreeBSD run with this hardware?  Particularly I'm concerned
  about the video card and the SCSI card.  I've read the list of compatible
  hardware at http://www.freebsd.org and don't understand.

Since your followup message shows this PCI SCSI controller to be an
UltraSCSI FAST-20 model, I'm pretty sure it that is the new BusLogic
FlashPoint LT.  The FlashPoint LT uses a new architecture that is not
compatible with the older MultiMaster models, and it is not likely that it
is supported yet.
