Is there a MicroATX board with VGA and firewire?

I'd rather not get a board with firewire and a VGA card seperately (or vice versa) - slots are too precious!

I can't seem to find one

Thanks
 
I guess you mean onboard video + firwire? I built a system on the Athlon XP 2800+ using the Shuttle MN31N, which does have firewire onboard and built-in nVidia video. Some info you see may say firewire is "optional" but my board had a firewire header. Hope that helps.
 
Oh yes I remember that one. I don't seem to be able to source it in the UK anymore unfortunately - even tried ebay. I can still buy one of the Shuttle barebones systems with it in but I don't really fancy one of those, a but pricey, and I hate building them.

Now I come to think of it, I don't think I've seen a budget (eg Skt A) matx board with firewire. Perhaps I'll have to get a firewire card. The user will still have 1 PCI slot free. With onboard sound, video and networking that should do him.
 
Thanks - it's for a light user so I probably won't go 64-bit but it's very handy to know - I didn't think they'd bother integrating graphics on a skt 939.

Thanks everyone
