It says it is supported in XFree 3.3.3.1, but I have noone to confirm how reliable it is. I do have an AI Expert at work 4 meg AGP card and it works great with XFree86 (ver 3.3.3.1 and FreeBSD 3.1-R) > I chose the turtle beach malibu, an isa card based on the cs4237 > chipset.

I had mentioned the SoundBlaser PCI 128 (an ES 1370 card) to Viren, but the advantage of an ISA sound card is that all the old DOS games you have work properly. And as this is going to be a Dual FreeBSD and Win98 machine, this may be important to you.
