My uncle is getting a comp, which currently we are going for AM2, but we might change to Core 2 Duo. What motherboard that supports Core 2 Duo will most likely support future processors? Like Kentsfield for example? Under or around $200, maybe around $150 or so since he will need to spend more for Core 2 Duo.

you have heard my opinion on this
if you get another mainboard make sure its 965 or 975 #
the old 975s dont support core 2 duo so you have to get a new 1
all 965 support core 2 duo and will support kentsfield
