It's a while back, but there was a massive discussion about problems
with the Orion, mainly PCI ones if I remember. Also, since wcarchive
was upgraded from an Orion m/b to a Natoma one, most (if not all) of
it's stability problems are gone.

I'm sure if you search the freebsd-hardware mailing list archives
you'll find problems in all their gory detail. Unless a recent
revision has fixed these problems, I'd avoid the orion like the
plague.
