Asus also uses a lot of VIA. The SIS760GX and SIS965L are relatively new and I believe a few months ago I saw postings indicating difficulties with FBSD. If anyone else has updated info on support for this chipset please holler. The board I wish to use is part of the Asus Pundit AE3 - maybe someone has freebsd installed on one already?
