Why would the N-Force boards be a problem?  The Nvidia video cards can 
be an issue but I've not heard of any issues (to my limited knowledge) 
with the N-Force mobos.  In fact, I'm thinking of picking one up with a 
new Athlon XP proc. :-)

than
Pheonix in this regard.

Apart from that just about anything will work.
 My Abit KD7 Via KT400 based mobo works great.
