Thanks, was just looking for nvidia cards, quite useful

Maybe worth raising here but ive seen an intel 950 on board vga run 1440x900 quite well, that was with a decent cpu and 2gb ddr2
only downside is that it wont do 1366x768, just not implemented in any vbios/driver that i can find
onboard vga is generally passive and would seem an ideal solution for 70% of htpc users but unless it supports the most common panel res there is.........
any one know of any micro atx boards that do 1366x768?

Did you check out the ones based on integrated nvidia graphics? They are supposed to be better suited to video acceleration than intel solutions, and I am wildly guessing that they will support 1366x768 like all stand-alone nvidia cards do.
