a board where there are no install issues, LM sensors works, usermode and
ondemand speed governors work, and the Ethernet is fully supported.

As others have suggested, if the Intel 965 sucks (and probably the
newer P35 too, then), and you don't find a 945 board anymore, you
might want to look into Nvidia-based boards. If they work fine with
AMD CPUs, you will probably not have Linux compatibility problems with
their variants for Intel CPUs, either.

No problems here with an nVidia 680i based board after solving some
initial issues. It needed a BIOS upgrade for the Ethernet to work
properly with MSI, and I had to manually increase the memory voltage.
