I know a lot of people like the ASUS P2B boards, but I've noticed a tendency for the systems to reset occasionally when plugging in a keyboard. I've seen this with both FreeBSD and NT, so I'm considering it a property of the board. I've had great results with the Tyan 1836DLUAN/Thunder 100's. I've got several boxes with 1GB of RAM and dual 450's humming along. For comparison one system with less memory and a SuperMicro board but identical system software has had a couple of wierd spontaneous reboots over the last few months.
