My amd64 NVidia board works rather nice (SATA, USB, ACPI, Sound, firewire).
The only thing we currently have a problem is one of the two onboard
ethernets and even that is only a problem in the driver on our side.

Imho, NVidia makes very decent chipsets.
And compared to ATI e.g. it is very nice to us (dfports/x11/nvidia-driver).
