I don't know about onboard RAID 1, or about ASUS specifically, but I  
do know that TYAN and SuperMicro make very nice motherboards with  
great FreeBSD support.
I own a 2 years old TYAN Tiger i7520SD sporting 2 Intel Xeon LV 1.66  
GHz (sossaman), and an 3 years old SuperMicro P4SCI sporting 1 Intel  
Pentium 4. Both are running 24/7/365 since I bought them.

regards,
