Apart from the onboard NIC not working (*yet*, the MAC address isn't being
detected properly), the SiS735 based ECS K7S5A has worked very well for
myself on FreeBSD (4.4).
I bought it because it was cheap ($125 *Canadian*), has a fast chipset, and
got so many good reviews...
It's not an overclockers motherboard though, not that I care :)
