I've had good luck with Tyan motherboards recently.  They're typically
built more for servers, but there are also some desktop-oriented models
available.  I don't know about the CPU compatability, but you should be
able  to figure that out from their site.  They are well known for their
overall quality, but you also end up paying for that.

HTH,
