How about the attached layout for the motherboards page? It opens up some more 
space for notes and reduces the amount of, well, research required. I hope. 
I've just done the top few motherboards alphabetically and added stuff where 
I know what's going on. I'll do the rest too if this is deemed an 
improvement.

   On this page we try to collect information about motherboards for the
   amd64 architecture and their ability to run FreeBSD. If a particular
   motherboard is not listed here, chances are we do not know about it.

   (5.3-RELEASE) The NIC driver (vge(4)) only works if statically
   compiled into the kernel.

   (5.4-STABLE [20]dmesg) On-board nForce ethernet controller will only
   work with nve(4) which is only in 6-CURRENT (as of Apr 2005).
   SATA-RAID Controller is Sil3114, recognized only as generic ATA
   controller; RAID not supported at all in 5-STABLE.

   (5.4-STABLE [28]dmes   RAID mirroring tested on both, fully functional. RAID mirrors (at
   least) are compatible across the controllers as well, so you can move
   disks from one controller to another. Audio is mostly normal, although
   the mixer(1) settings are off: the "vol" channel has no effect, so you
   need to use the "ogain" channel instead.

   xmbmon(1) does not autodetect correct monitoring mode, needs -I flag.

   (5.4-STABLE) Audio is yet to be tested. The on-board sk0 ethernet
   controller had issues with 5.3-RELEASE.
