The onboard marvell raid controller is not supported but I assume you won't need it because of the megaraid. I'm using a HIS X300SE dual dvi 128mb pcie express graphic adapter (~40) ... actually a nice card :-) http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=240&view=yes Sensors are supported too: $ sysctl hw hw.machine=amd64 hw.model=Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz hw.ncpu=2 hw.byteorder=1234 hw.physmem=3220303872 hw.usermem=3220295680 hw.pagesize=4096 hw.disknames=sd0,sd1,sd2,cd0,cd1,fd0 hw.diskcount=6 hw.sensors.ami0.drive0=online, (sd0), OK hw.sensors.ami0.drive1=online, (sd1), OK hw.sensors.ami0.drive2=online, (sd2), OK hw.sensors.lm0.temp0=37.00 degC hw.sensors.lm0.volt0=2.27 V DC, (VCore A) hw.sensors.lm0.volt1=3.70 V DC, (VCore B) hw.sensors.lm0.volt2=3.22 V DC, (+3.3V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt3=5.40 V DC, (+5V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt4=11.07 V DC, (+12V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt5=-12.61 V DC, (-12V) hw.sensors.lm0.volt6=-4.56 V DC, (-5V) hw.cpuspeed=2671 hw.vendor=stem manufacturer hw.product=P5WDG2 WS PRO The azalia sound chip is also supported.
