Thanks for all the input, Dale and Volker!
I think I settle for a GA-880GMA-UD2H ([1]). Basically, it's the little
brother of what Volker proposed. I need a Micro-ATX board. Originally, I
ruled out all Asrock and Gigabyte boards because because they usually
come with 2 PCI slots, 1 PCIe x16 and 1 PCIe x1. I rather want another
PCIe 1x instead of the second PCI slot. Asus, Foxconn and MSI offer that.
This particular Gigabyte board, however, offers a second PCIe 4x (in a
physical x16 slot). I guess that's even better. Although the arrangement
on the board will make it dificult to use two larger extension cards in
both big PCIe slots.

When you get ready to build your kernel, check out this link.

That should tell you what drivers it needs and save you some headaches
trying to figure them out.
Nice mobo too. ;-)
