As is explained at length in several places, RH/CentOS is an enterprise 
distro and doesn't change kernel versions within a major release.  That 
being said, drivers are among the things updated in that base kernel.  I'm 
happily running CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Precision 390 (C2D w/ the 975 
chipset).

Are there any plans for Redhat/CentOS to implement the 2.6.18 Kernel
which adds support for the Core 2 Duo chipsets, i.e. 965, 975, and 946?
 
Thanks,

I've just installed CentOS 4.4 on a new dual Xeon 5130 host with no
problems.
I believe the Xeon 5100 series are the server version of the Core 2 Duo. The
mobo is a Supermicro X7DVL-E using the Intel 5000V (Blackford-VS) chipset.
