Where are the motherboards with on-board video for Barton?

I've been using Biostar motherboards for quite awhile and they work well. Very soon (already?), the Barton CPU is going to be used in "value" boxes. These boxes usually have onboard video. I am having trouble finding a motherboard that supports Barton and has on-board video. Any suggestions?
 
Look for the Shuttle MN31N. It has the MCP-T southbridge and firewire header yet cost less then $99 shipped, and yes does have GF4 MX on-bard video.

That is the only chipset (nForce2) that I am aware of that has video and supports the Barton. The KM400 should be out in the next couple of weeks and that will also have video and support for Barton.
 
I'm running a Barton 2500+@2.3ghz 1.632v 200mhz synch mode in my SL-75MRN-L A3 rev. IGP and score 6001 in 3DMark2001se :heart:
 
Some KM400 mainboards are already for sale in the US - Search Pricewatch for " KM400 " . As these are new models with potential glitches and revisions to come , I would go for an Norce2 IGP model instead if I needed to buy soon .
 
I just put a rig together this weekend with one of these.

It supports 333 FSB and is Biostar.
By the way, it went together without a hitch.
 
The Leadtek K7NCR18G-Pro II board has onboard video and supports Barton chips. My Barton 2500+ runs just fine in my Leadtek K7NCR18D-Pro board - it's the "D" version without board without the onboard video. In the early going I had onboard sound related problems - cleared up by installing a sound card.
