Motherboards for Core2 Duo

I'm about to put together a Core2 Duo system to be used as a compute
server. I'm leaning towards an Abit AB9 Pro but I'm open to suggestions. I
don't care about graphics performance at all, the system will
running without X, but I do care about CPU, memory and disk performance.
I'm planning on an E6700 with 4G of DDR2 800 and a pair of Seagate 320G
SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration. I'll be running 64 bit FC5 or FC6
on hte box. I have an SATA DVD ROM so I think I have a way around the
problems with the JMicron PATA controller.

If you have a Core2 system, which motherboard are you using, have there
been any Linux compatibility problems?, any memory compatibility problems?
(965s are supposed to be finicky), are you happy with it?

Thanks
