Odd.... I've mostly heard good things about ABIT. And I have
trouble believing that the OS wiped out your CPU. CPU's don't have
moving parts to wear out. Overheating can be a problem, but that's
why we use fans.

I've been happy with ASUS and AMPTRON. I prefer ASUS because
I have more experience with them. All of them, in different
versions, have run DOS, Win 3.X, Win95, WinNT, NetWare 3.X,
NetWare 4.X, and FreeBSD.
My own feeling here is that you may have a mis-set jumper
somewhere. Perhaps a voltage off? It seems wierd that three
CPU's would die.... personally, I'd get another motherboard, CPU,
and fresh RAM from another vendor.... one who will support your use
of FreeBSD.
