[coreboot] Support for motherboards that support the LGA1155 (or most newer) socket(s)

[Harry Prevor]

As I am not subscribed to this mailing list, I ask that all responders
CC me. Please let me know if someone responded and didn't CC me so I
can check the archives; it would be a shame for me not to get that
message.

After searching the mailing list archives, Google,
<http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards>, and
<http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices>, I was pretty
surprised to find that there isn't a lot of information on newer
motherboards for Coreboot installation. I asked on the #coreboot IRC
channel, and they said that the Supported Motherboards page just isn't
updated as frequently any more, so I went to this list.

>From what I gather, if I want to build a PC with an Intel i7 CPU and
some higher-end NVidia GPU, I'll need a motherboard that supports the
LGA1155 socket, and it seems that none of the boards on the Supported
Motherboards page support that socket.

How is Coreboot support for motherboards that support these sockets?
Would, for example, the AMD FX 4300, AMD FX 6300, or AMD FX 8350 (none
of which are on the list) work with coreboot well? What motherboards
would you recommend to purchase that would support the CPU and GPU
that I would like? Unfortunately I can't really provide specs on these
motherboards because I don't own them yet.

Thanks a lot ahead of time for any advice; although I don't know a lot
about motherboards yet I'm willing to learn.
