I think if you are in need of what coreboot can offer you should change the question: what kind of chipsets do you want that coreboot supports?
Hi, I understand what you're saying, yet I've gotten my hands on two boards with the aforementioned chipsets and a lot of goodies on them, so I thought to give it a go before spending €€€ for an already supported board (which would obviously be much easier) So I'm looking for any kind of support in getting this thing to work. Also I might have a go at reverse engineering the original BIOS and seeing if the difference between the 945 and the 965 is small enough to adapt the code here and there.
Anyone?
Best regards, Daniel

The effort of porting coreboot to 965 will take many weeks. If you wish to do that, the coreboot community would highly appreciate that and help whenever possible.

I see your weeks and raise with many months.
Daniel, buy a supported board if all you want to do is use coreboot.
