The are motherboards that are listed on the AMD "Recommended
Motherboards" page, with links to the manufacturers product site:
ASUS M2V:

=0
GIGABYTE GA-M55S-S3:

roductID=2384
MSI K9N Platinum
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?
UID=730

All of the above are ATX motherboards, supporting Cool&Quiet, Rev F2
processors and according to the manufacturers pictures have 4 slots for
memory. 

As the processor supports addressing of 16GB modules [no manufacturers
available for 16GB modules tho'] and up to 4 in unbuffered mode
(buffered support in Opteron processors allow up to 8 slots per
processor), you shouldn't have any problem getting 8GB or more out of a
motherboard with 4 slots. 

All have SATA and LAN hardware on board. 

N.B: I haven't actually tried ANY of the above motherboards, I just
listed my three favourite "known to generally be good suppliers" and the
motherbaords I could find that matches your specifications.
