I want to buy a new mainboard with the following features.
- It has to be supported by coreboot.

games. I hope to save power this way. 3. Probably it should support a processor with at least 2 GHz. 4. Firewire would be nice.
Buy a gigabyte M57SLI. It fits all these requirements.
According to [1] it does not fulfill 2., or do I miss something.
The main downside is that it has soldered-on rom chip.
Ok.
- GIGABYTE_GA-2761GXDK [2] (the link in the wiki on the board [3]
somehow leads to [4])
This board is not available anywhere, afaik.
That is unfortunate. For clarification: This board does not fulfill 4.
That is why I am planning to buy the ASUS M2V-MX SE [5] having read the announcement from Rudolf Marek [6].
Yeah, that's another option, and it has a socketed rom chip.
Ok. It looks like, I am going to order this next week.
Thanks,
Paul
