I've run Nvidia NForce3 boards from MSI and they are rock solid under Linux. The NForce3 250GB is the model to look for, earlier models had some limitations with Hyper Transport speeds. If you have a bit more money invest in a NForce3 Ultra to get Socket 939 compatiblity and higher memory bandwidth. This will probably help if you upgrade to HDTV. NForce4 is out now, but will force you to buy PCI Express video cards today rather than later.
