That all depends... What are you looking FOR? Why are you replacing the motherboard? Are you also replacing the CPU? Memory? Do you need IDE? SATA? RAID? Do you have a video card, sound card, and NIC or do you want them built-in? Do you want PCI-e? Do you need USB? Firewire? CentOS should be compatible with most motherboards out there. You may have to find drivers for an oddball video or sound chipset. On-board raid you are probably better off ignoring and using software raid instead. I usually look for boards from Asus or Abit. Intel boards are good as well, but usually don't have as many features and don't perform as well on the benchmarks. You may want to check out Newegg.com. They've got good prices and selection and quite a few customer reviews on the popular products. Bowie
