If this is the I2O (i960) motherboard, I don't think you'll have much luck with it under FreeBSD. I'd search the mail archives for SuperMicro and I20 for similar experiences with i960 motherboards. Most FreeBSDers are very happy with ASUS motherboards. See if you can get the P6-DLS (with on-board 7880) and slap one or two 3940s in it. Actually, that's a dual CPU motherboard, but you get 4 PCI slots instead of 3 on the single CPU version, I think.
