We have 50 or so L440GX MB runnig FreeBSD and are pretty happy with them. They have a Intel PRO/100+ (Intel 82559) and Adaptec 7896 Dual Channel SCSI onboard. These boards also can export preboot info via a serial port which is nice for long distance bios access. We have many of these server in remote dark sites. A new rev is supposed to support up to 700MHZ PIII. Oh, and these are SMP boards.
