I just installed the gentoo on an MSI Neo2 Ultra based on the NForce3 chipset.
It seems to work fine. In order to use the LiveCD I had to send the "noapic"
switch to the kernel otherwise the builtin network card didn't work. Once I
built my own kernel the machine flies. I too am using SATA (no RAID) and haven't
had to do anything special to make it all work.
