from my googling around, it doesn't look there is a single motherboard 
that supports core 2 duo and works without patches or tweaks.  is that 
true?  the main thing we want is:

core 2 duo support
4g of 800mhz (or better) ram
sata
gig ether with pxe boot

we can live without pata or usb for a while.

we've tried intel 965 and asus p5b based boards with various levels of 
ease of install, but all required some kind of driver update, which just 
isn't acceptable to us.  well, i guess it could be acceptable if it could 
be built in to a pxe boot setup, but so far i haven't found any docs to 
even let me understand how hard/easy that might be.

does v5 support any of these boards better?
