AMD motherboards

[Glenn Johnson]

I am getting ready to upgrade a system with a new motherboard.  It will
be a board for an AMD-XP processor.  It seems all of the boards I have
looked at have a lot of integrated stuff I do not want but I have a few
questions about FreeBSD support.

[1] Do any of the onboard audio systems work with FreeBSD?

[2] Do any of the onboard RAID controllers (Promise) work with FreeBSD?
    Are they worthwhile?

[3] What is the level of support for SATA in FreeBSD?

[4] Any particular boards to avoid?  Any particular boards that are
    better than others?

Thanks in advance for any input.
