I know some cards have FM tuners built in, but I've yet to see an AM tuner for PC's. Is there such a thing? Why aren't there audio cards with antenna ports for AM/FM tuning, anyway?

Most computer radios don't have an AM section because it's too hard (read expensive) to shield from the computer's noise.
. I have a radio near my computer and I can't listen to some AM stations all over the dial because of computer RFI/harmonics. I can even hear my monitor flyback circuit at some frequencies.

I've never seen an AM radio, however I have the D-link USB radio and it's pretty crappy. If you run winXP don't buy it, it has no compatibility. The software sucks. Don't install the software, get a third party program such as Radiator. Other than that, the quality is good.

May not ever be an nforce Mega because they are using the new KM400 chipset for the AMD version.
