I've had mixed results with ASUS motherboards.  The P54SP4 seems to work well
with unixware and nt (haven't tried freebsd).  I've got one each of the dual
P90 motherboards (1 eisa/pci, 1 isa/pci).  I've had to replace both of them
but the pci/isa now works well with unixware 2.0.  You can really see the
speedup with the second processor.  I've run freebsd on the eisa/pci dual
motherboard with varied results (I'm not sure whether the problems I saw were
related to the motherboard or the -current cut :-).
