I don't know as I'd call any particular chipset 'best', they are all good [or they wouldn't sell] but since the motherboard manufacturers build the boards to use the chipsets and modify the BIOS accordingly, you just have to look for the features you want. I've used boards with ALi, VIA, AMD chipsets without much problem. NVIDIA nForce is one of the newer ones.
The AMD 761 is an older chipset, lacking many features, such as usb2, serialATA, fsb333, fsb400. In other words, avoid the AMD 761 chipset. Your main players in the Athlon market is the SiS 748, nVidia nForce2, & VIA KT600. Of those, they are all good chips, just go with a reliable motherboard manufacturer.
