Hi.

This page has some motherboards that have been tested by users and 
comments about how they work with FreeBSD:

http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html

I'm running the Giga-Byte K8NS Pro myself on my main machine (not 939 
though) and it works pretty good aside from some defects that occurred 
with my original and my RMA replacement board in both FreeBSD and 
Windows. I also just got done upgrading a machine with a MSI K8NGM2-L 
(939) which seems to work pretty good in 6.1-PRERELEASE aside from the 
onboard sound not functioning and the onboard NIC not being detected (I 
already had a PCI NIC and sound card so no problem there).
