Next gen Intel Chipsets with IGP?

Im looking to upgrade my board to a P35/G33/X38 chipset and throw in a Q6600 in the summer. i will subsequently have to sell my X850XT AGP card because it wont fit on any of those and i dont want to stay with AGP any longer, plus i dont do alot of gaming.
(i'll consider the HD2600XT once i see benches)

so my question is, are there any board either existing or in the pipeline with IGP? (if im not mistaken, the G33 boards will have it?)
DX10 support is not a must and also i wanted to know if there is any info about IGPs hurting the overall overclockability of the board?

Motherboards are shipping with NVIDIA's new GF7050 IGP derived from GF 7 Series GPU, though I don't know if boards for Intel processors are available yet. Supposed to be available for both.

Intel press release on June 5th (yesterday) stated that its G35 Express chipset with the DX10 GMA X3500 IGP will "ship within 90 days", which could mean that motherboards won't be hitting the market for at least 30 days following Intel's ship date.

GMA X3500 sounds interesting, though I wonder how long we'll have to wait for fully functional drivers. Intel still hasn't released drivers for GMA X3000 that fully implement T&L + SM3.0 in hardware and isn't expected until August 2007. :disgust:
