Comments requested from people who may have used / broken the 
following components.
I'm looking for items like unwanted interactions, driver probs, etc.

>From looking at the 5.4 hardware page 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html 
the general selection seems to be
supported, but I have mental question marks against the graphics card
and the response time of the monitor (I intend to use KDE and Xorg, am
not
interested in flashy games / video, but do want sharp, full colour
resolution)
There seem to be grumbles from some linux forums re the 6600 locking up 
occasionally...?
