As I am not subscribed to this mailing list, I ask that all responders CC me. Please let me know if someone responded and didn't CC me so I can check the archives; it would be a shame for me not to get that message.
After searching the mailing list archives, Google, http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards, and http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices, I was pretty surprised to find that there isn't a lot of information on newer motherboards for Coreboot installation. I asked on the #coreboot IRC channel, and they said that the Supported Motherboards page just isn't updated as frequently any more, so I went to this list.
From what I gather, if I want to build a PC with an Intel i7 CPU and
some higher-end NVidia GPU, I'll need a motherboard that supports the LGA1155 socket, and it seems that none of the boards on the Supported Motherboards page support that socket.
How is Coreboot support for motherboards that support these sockets? Would, for example, the AMD FX 4300, AMD FX 6300, or AMD FX 8350 (none of which are on the list) work with coreboot well? What motherboards would you recommend to purchase that would support the CPU and GPU that I would like? Unfortunately I can't really provide specs on these motherboards because I don't own them yet.
Thanks a lot ahead of time for any advice; although I don't know a lot about motherboards yet I'm willing to learn.
