Get a board with an Nforce chipset and avoid the VIA or SIS ones if you want to use a Geforce graphics card.

I have a VIA MSI KT333 chipset and my Radeon 9600 Pro and Geoforce FX 5900 Ultra 256mb and my old Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb have no problems with it, my PC runs 24/7 for days and days without a single crash
SIS chipsets are CRAP, trust me they hate Geforce and Radeon, VIA chipsets are the way to go

Drop the extra $40 and get an Nforce board. If you can't swing it now then wait until you can.
For every one person that has no problems with VIA and SIS chipsets there are a dozen that do. Just search the boards if you don't believe me.
