I was not really serious, but the nearly simultaneous release of a
"stable" SMP FreeBSD and a very inexpensive Dual MoBo was a very
pleasant surprise.

Very fine

What do you use for temp. watching ? (I fetched a little hack which is
called wmtempmon). My temps are somewhat lower : around 35/36 °C, as
I've installed "Alpha" coolers, bought from www.3dfx.com. One colleague
at work uses the same sink/fan combo, but with peltier and a monstrous
PSU to get to 572MHz. I've also loaded the latest BIOS from Abit.
