Fedora Core 3 Motherboard Recommendations

[Rick Meyer]

I am looking for some recommendations for a stable and reliable motherboard
for building five Fedora Core 3 systems.  My top concerns are:
 
Motherboard:
*      Reliability of the main motherboard.  
*      Chipset Support (i.e Easy Installation) from the kernel.
*      Price is some what important but not the deciding factor (no more
than $140.00)
*      Nice to have features would be dual-lan on board.
*      I have no CPU preference, so it could be AMD or Intel solution.  (CPU
Speed is not important)
*      Chipset/Performance vs Price.  (I would prefer a newer chipset if it
doesn't break the $140.00 mark)
 
 
Network Cards:
*      If the motherboard doesn't have on-board Lan (I need two Ethernet
connections in each system) Then what is a good and stable NIC card?
 
A typical system once built will contain:
*      200GB Hard Drive
*      DVD R/W
*      512 Megs of RAM
*      2 Ethernet Connections (Giga-Lan Optional)
*      ATX Case (Mini or Mid Tower)
*      Good Power Supply (Probably an Enermax..)
 
 
Of course I have searched the NET for MFTB numbers from Manufactures, but
haven't really come up with anything solid yet.  Some of the Manufacturers I
have looked at include ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and DFI.  I'm open to others as
well.
 
Thanks
Rick Meyer
