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"

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.
