	Umm... if you're going to make a server with any kind of speed, 
you REALLY should look at SCSI drives not IDE. You're looking at about 
10-15MB/Sec sustained vesus 30-50 at least in SCSI.

	FreeBSD dosen't really care what chipset you have, not like 
Windows does. I'm using a Soltek MBs with the VIA Chipset with no 
problems. Others are using the ASUS MB model you mentioned that same way.
