All boards i've ever used were asus except my Siemens Primergy 470 nad my Dell Latitude D600. I ran FreeBSD successfully on this boards: Asus A7M266-D, Dual-Athlon XP 1800+ (running CURRENT, ACPI w/o problems) Asus CUV4X-D, Dual-PIII 800 (ran 4.9, if i remember correctly) Asus P5A-B, K6-2 350 (running 5.2.1 p7, ACPI w/o problems) Asus A7V266-E, Athlon XP 1800+ (running CURRENT, ACPI w/o problems) and several asus borads, but never tested on freebsd, as i'm new to *NIX. asus are always high-quality boards. you'll notice that in quality of bios for example. all asus boards supporting ACPI, work flawless.
