Let me add my voice to the chorus.  :)

I've happily run two different ASUS motherboards (A7V266E, A7V333) 
with an XP 1800+ and FreeBSD 4-STABLE from 4.4-RELEASE through 
my last cvsup a few days ago.  (I switched from the -266E to the -333 
after 4.5-RELEASE.)  These setups got along fine with different versions 
of X (4.1-something through 4.2-something) and everything else on my 
machine.  (E.g., GeForce2 MX-400 video.)

If you're interested in getting to the bottom of this, what version(s) of X 
were you trying to run, on what sort of motherboard, with what kind of 
video card, etc.?  OTOH, if you're happy with WinXP, cool.
