Perhaps this is something that you can help us with.  Many users have
contributed their experiences in the wiki, here:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HardwareSupport

This information could be collected into a buying guide of sorts.

Our amd64 kernels are not built for specific chipsets; they support any
chipsets that the Linux kernel developers have written support for.

nForce happens to be what I use for testing, so I can tell you my personal
experience with it.
