Hi,

I have had good luck with the ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard which is based on the nVidia nForce 590 SLI chipset: http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=1&model=1163&l1=3&l2=101&l3=0

- SiI 3132 SATA300 controller - NVIDIA nForce MCP55 Networking Adapter onboard ethernet (works only with nfe driver in CURRENT, not with nve driver) - NVidia MCP55 High Definition Audio Controller (works with snd_hda driver) - supports dual core AMD processors

The only issue, compared to your list, is that there is no onboard video. There is also an onboard wireless NIC, but no driver for that currently under FreeBSD.
