If you're really hesitating, just download the two 1.44MB floppy images
from ftp.freebsd.org and try if it boots and reports most of your
hardware. :-)


> it would be greatly apprcieated. This is a list of my hardware:
> CPU:  AMD Athlon 600Mhz     Motherboard:  ASUS K7MWOA  ATX   Cooling Fan:  
> Fan for K7, dual fan

AMD K7 works

> Memory:  128MB PC100 SDRAM    Hard Drive:  Western Digital 18.1GB UDMA IDE   
> Floppy:  Mitsume 1.44

FreeBSD has support for IDE drives, even UDMA 33 and UDMA 66,
with UDMA 100 coming in the near future.


> Video Card:  Diamond Viper V770 Ultra    Monitor:  Sony Triniton .25 17in   

No problem. You will also have 2d acceleration under X11 and limitied 3d
hardware acceleration.


> CD-ROM:  Mitsumi 48X INT IDE CD_ROM

Is supported.

 
> Sound Card:  Sound Blaster Live Value  

I am not sure about that one. Search the mailing list archive on 
www.freebsd.org (list: freebsd-multimedia) about it.


> Modem:  US Robotics 2977 56K V90 PCI

No idea about that one.

 
> Keyboard:  Microsoft natural feel   Mouse:  Microsoft Scroll PS2

These should cause no problems.


Regards,
Marc
