Help Me Select A Mobo.....

I'm looking to build a new AthlonXP (Barton 333 mhz) system and I have no idea what mobo to buy. I know that I want to get an nforce2 mobo as it seems to be the best AthlonXP chipset out there and I see a lot of praise in other threads for the 8RDA+, NF7-S 2.0, and a couple of other boards. However, the aforementioned boards all seem to use the nforce2 SPP chipset, but I need the nforce2 chipset with integrated video as I don't have the extra loot to shell out for a new video card. I don't mind throwing down $150 for an nforce2 mobo, but it has to have integrated video. I've looked at the Epox 8RGA, MSI K7N2G-L, and Abit NF7-M boards, but I have no idea which one would be best or if there was another solid nforce2 IGP board. What board would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.

The Shuttle MN31N is a great board. Has the MCP-T southbridge so you get firewire header and soundcard upgrade. Also supports the 333Mhz Bartons.
 
Shuttle does look good and the Epox is a good MoBo. Make sure you get 2 sticks of RAM to utilize the Dual Channel DDR, as the NForce Graphic MoBo's benefit from it the most.
