Which amd64 motherboards are currently "best" for FreeBSD 6.0-stable?

I have read the amd64 motherboards page at www.freebsd.org, but that
didn't help enough.
By "best" I mean a motherboard / manufacturer where everything just
works, or works with minimal "tweaking" of FreeBSD settings.
Oh, I am going to use this for a new fileserver at home.

Perhaps a bit long in the tooth now, but the MSI K8T Neo2 that I got
over the summer works fine with default bios setting and generic
kernel. The onboard gigabit ethernet just worked and I added drivers
for the on-board sound.

My Asus A8V works fine on FreeBSD 4.11 and DragonFly so I guess
it would be OK on 6.0 - just don't use an ATI 9xx­ video card with it.

From what i hear, the nforce4 chipset is now well supported, and apparently
the embedded NIC (nve) is now working, using 6.0-STABLE. So it should be a
good motherboard. Previously the Asus mobo with VIA chipset was preferred.

One thing you may want to know: Asus motherboards generate trouble with
Radeon 9xxx cards. This NG or google provides more details in this topic.
