New versions may or may not work, sometimes they change critical components. *rolls dice* you could always see if they're on ebay.
If I was you I'd buy a *new* KGPE-D16 (around $400), a cheap g34 62xx CPU off of ebay ($10-40) and a decent foss video card - it is blob free, one of the most popular coreboot boards and it has proper virtualization support including IOMMU/RVI (SLAT).
You don't want a G41, even with a 771>775 xeon mod it is pretty old and lacks many features.
2008+ intel and AM4+ boards are just shimboot - If something contains blobs you have no real control, all of the real stuff is done by the black box "FSP" https://blogs.coreboot.org/blog/2015/02/23/the-truth-about-purism-why-librem... (new intel = will never be libre) https://www.coreboot.org/Binary_situation https://libreboot.org (good info here if you ignore the politics)

Hi, I want to buy a new desktop mainboard compatible with coreboot, but I have not found any of the ones listed in the supported boards webpage (because they are too old). Nevertheless I have found new versions of some of them, namely: Asrock G41m-VS3 R2.0 (S 775), Asus M5997 LE R2.0 (S AM3+) and Gigabyte GA-F2A88 XM-ds2 (S FM2+). They use the same chipset, do you know if they work with coreboot? Thanks.
Tired correction: *newer* intel boards are shimboot (FSP) / the 2008+ bit is about ME not FSP - but they're both awful in terms of you actually owning your computer and being able to do what you please with it.
