I'm buying parts for a computer and want to make sure that the core

core 2 quad q6600 and I'm choosing the motherboard now.
Me2 (unless I wait for a newer generation of CPUs).
However it seems many
of the popular motherboards have Realtek ALC888 as built-in audio and Realtek
8111B as built-in LAN.
I read at:
http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/i386/article.html
that the sound should work but I couldn't find any info on the LAN.
Does anyone on the list have any experience with it?
By the way, I'm going to run FreeBSD 7.
I also want a cheap PCI/e NIC that works well with drivers back to
FreeBSD-4 like my plain PCI bge and em NICs do. I doubt that any
popular motherboard will have anything better than a cheap PCI/e NIC.
