If you do need wireless LAN, then anything with an Orinoco, Atheros or Intel
chipset will work out of the box. Intel graphics chips also work out of
the box, and so if you find a motherboard with all Intel chips, you should
be fine. Intel offers all of its drivers as Open Source code.

Thank you. I have made up my mind for Asus P5KC

Lastly, there are many motherboard manufacturers, and many choices of
chipsets for each of them, but if you're looking for quality, then I
recommend Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, Iwill, Tyan or even Intel.

Because of great matter of RAM with linux, is it better to install ddr
3 instead of ddr 2 ?
