For graphics cards: 1st tier: Nvidia 8400 or higher 2nd tier: < 4 year old Nvidia, < 2 year old ATI, < 2 year old Intel 3rd tier: older nvidia
I would question Nvidia cards being first unless we're talking about the nv or nouveau drivers. The binary drivers are known to crash more with Wine because it puts more demands on them, and Nvidia is known not to care about this. The Intel drivers have the advantage of being good, being open source and being from a company that seriously cares about getting them right.
Or, shorter: privileging a closed-source driver doesn't seem like a good idea.
