Well, despite what you say about ASUS, I recently bought an M3N78-VM (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152752 - although the net card specs are wrong) because it was cheap and it supported 8gb. The only problem was the lack for forcedeth drivers in standard CentOS, which I download from somewhere else. I can't speak for graphics or sound because the machine uses neither.
It's running Xen kernel from the Gitco repositories and it's rock solid (touch wood).

Subject: [CentOS] modern motherboard for centos-5
I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard
that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5.
Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my
new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate
board happens to be intel-compatible.
However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly
into bed with the Beast, I'd prefer to avoid ASUS boards.
I see that NewEgg has some combo deals at reasonable prices, but I
can't tell which chipsets/boards are known to work with centos5 and
which aren't.
Just at random, here's one of their offerings, a Biostar board:

I've always understood Biostar boards to be cheap, not only in price,
but perhaps they're serviceable?
I'm open to other suggestions, too.
Thanks in advance!
