Nvidia chipsets

[WipeOut]

Hi,

Looking at some new motherboards and see that there are many with Nvidia 
chipsets.. I have always stuck with Intel chipsets boards to avoid any 
compatibility issues.. I like things to "just work"..

So the question is simple.. Do motherboards with Nvidia chipsets "just 
work" under linux as my Intel chipset boards always seem to or do they 
require messing with drivers etc.??

I guess while I am asking, do Nvidia graphics cards "just work" these 
days or do they also require messing with drivers?
