Has there been any movement in the idea of adding support for the current intel processors/chipsets to centos4?

How could we possibly know that now :P

RHEL5 is not even created yet

(nor is CentOS-5 beta {completely} or CentOS-5) ...

If the upstream guys roll a package in beta back to an older version in stable (it happens all the time) ... then it won't be AUTOMATICALLY upgradeable, as you would need to manually handle that {as one example}.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

S5000 doesn't work at all with Centos 4.

At least not with the intel boards themselves.

S3000 works fine, 965/975 doesn't work at all either.

I assume you mean "recent intel desktop chipsets" since both processors and server chipsets work just fine on centos-4.4.
