As for S-ATA, the support isn't really optimal as far as I know, especially when you're going to use an S-ATA RAID controller. I've tried the 64-bit FreeBSD version on my AMD64 3000+, and it worked just fine. But I switched back to Bill's software since I wanted to make it a gaming machine, and not a real workstation.
