No, I don't.  Someone created a webapp that attempted to "rate" the
performance of mobos for FBSD.  The URL is:

   http://www.eilio.com/freebsd-motherboards/

I just checked it out and it seems to be stale now.  There's a MySQL
connect error visible on the page.  Also, it didn't rate ACPI
compatibility/performance which is something you really want to know.
