We purchased the Phenom 9600 about 6 months ago but have yet to match it with a motherboard.

I'm looking for an inexpensive but reliable mobo with best possible built in video.

I'm thinking of using it with Mythbuntu initially so HDMI port may be desirable.

May even do a dual boot with Vista or if delayed, Windows 7.

I already have the DDR2 I need.

All recommendations welcome.

Best video is the AMD 790GX chipset, which is basically a faster 780G.

IIRC, Linux works better with Nvidia, so perhaps a GF8300-based solution will work best.
