Hi

AFAIK the integrated NIC's on the Nforce boards don't work under FreeBSD. I tried several different ones 2 months ago, cause I needed a motherboard with onboard NIC under FreeBSD (for use in 1U case). In the end I ended up with a Epox motherboard with an integrated Via Rhine III NIC, which has worked fairly well for me.

for Video.. I don't know, never did need to run X on that machine :).
