As I've posted to this list at least once in the last couple of weeks, we
(FreeBSD Labs) certified this board for 4.1 a little while back. It
should serve you well.
Note that 4GB is going to cost you about US$6k to put into that board
(1GB DIMMs being what they are). You might want to consider the Tyan
S2500, which has 8 DIMM sockets. Whilst the board is larger and more
expensive, it's somewhat offset by the ~$1200 saving in memory cost.

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
