BIOS screens and RAM chips are tough to see from a distance :) The program memtest86+ http://www.memtest.org/ shows the information you seek. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it must be run from a boot disk, though since it is open source, it perhaps could be modified to run under FreeBSD.
Also, I may be wrong about this, but I think that if your current system requires slower DDR333 RAM, then putting in DDR400 may cause problems. OTOH, if it can handle faster DDR400, then it could also use DDR333, but run more slowly. Also, I really dislike mixing RAM types on a single board, but people tell me that on modern mobos, that is not such a big deal as it once was.
