Any reason you are particular about core 3 and not upgrading to the
current core 4?
I just bought a Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI and it seems to work quite
nicely with Fedora Core 4 x86_64.  I bought only a single core
processor, but the board claims to be dual core ready.  I had no
problems with the NIC, SATA controller (make sure (F)RAID support is
turned off), or chipset.  I'm using a PCI-e GeForce 6600 GT which
worked with both nv (open source) and nvidia (binary) drivers.  It was
also a very reasonable price at about $100 (cheaper than other SLI
boards) and includes a 1394b (the new faster version) controller on it
(not tested, though since I have no firewire devices).
