Are there any plans for Redhat/CentOS to implement the 2.6.18 Kernel which adds support for the Core 2 Duo chipsets, i.e. 965, 975, and 946?
Thanks, -Drew

As is explained at length in several places, RH/CentOS is an enterprise distro and doesn't change kernel versions within a major release. That being said, drivers are among the things updated in that base kernel. I'm happily running CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Precision 390 (C2D w/ the 975 chipset).
So you're the one guy that got it working?
In order for me to even get the installer to boot on a DG965ss I have to pass these commands to the kernel:
pci = nommconf acpi=off irqprobe all-generic-ide
If I do all of that it will install, but it has no idea what any of the devices are.
Thanks, -Drew

In this order, I'd:
1) Make sure you're installing 4.4 (rather than a previous point release.
2) Run FC5 (or 6, due out next week) until CentOS 4.5 is out, which will likely improve support for those chipsets.
FC5 doesn't install without command line arguments either.
Thanks for the suggestion,

In that case, I would find out if you need BIOS updates. Most of the boxes I saw that needed those command line options needed a BIOS update.

I've just installed CentOS 4.4 on a new dual Xeon 5130 host with no problems. I believe the Xeon 5100 series are the server version of the Core 2 Duo. The mobo is a Supermicro X7DVL-E using the Intel 5000V (Blackford-VS) chipset.
