Hi! I am a newbee Unix developer and would like to develop on FreeBSD for it's performance & scalability as a web server and as a end-user workstation. I am doing R&D on a Gateway Performance 500 and I have questions as to whether FreeBSD will support it's hardware. Can the OS utilize its:

1.128 RAM?
2.13.5GB 7200RPM Ultra ATA hard drive with UATA 66 Controller / UDMA 66?
3.STB Velocity 4400 / 16M nVidia Riva TNT Graphics Adapter?
4.DVD ROM ?
5.Multifunction keyboard?
6.Integrated Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64D & Boston Acoustics BA735 Digital Speakers w/Subwoofer?
7.PIII/500?

I looked at your hardware compatibility list and it didn't mention any of the items above. If it doesn't are there any plans to?
