Well, I bought the ECS KN1 Extreme (awesome board). I didn't really
check compatibility with FreeBSD because I run Windows XP on my client
machines. The reasons I went with this board are that it is well
featured, it was relatively cheap compared to other socket 939 boards,
and I also learned that ECS manufactures boards for other companies
that rebrand them. You can never be sure what you're actually buying,
so I went with the real manufacturer if that makes any sense. Sorry I
couldn't be of more help. Figured I'd at least evangelize the Venice
core (good choice...it runs fast and cool! :-)
