Curious if this will work (1 Viewer)

[brokenmachine]

I seem to be suffering from a case of brain deadness. I am trying to slap together a cheap media portal pc and all I need is a MB for my old northwood p4 chip. I was thinking about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131573

But I cannot seem to find any information if the onboard video supports dx9 (therefore media portal) or not. I will be putting it in a very small case and due to cost I will never add another video card to it.
So does anyone know if this will run media portal? (only network xvids and network music never any TV)

If not can anyone suggest a sub $50US socket 478 MB that has onboard video that will run it?

Thanks in advance...

No, find another board.

Perhaps something with an Intel extreme 2 graphics chip on it.

Extreme 2 is not a DX9 card, I belive.

Get a mobo with Radeon Xpress 200....

Hrm seems it was the Intel GMA950 chip I was thinking of. If they make them in socket 478 go for the X200 or 6200 onboard video cards.

Thanks for your replies all, does anyone have any models of boards with the aforementioned chips? Hardware retail sites never have searches by onboard video chips.

ok, here is what I want / need from the MB

Inexpensive!! $50 us (might go as high as 90 for a mb/cpu/vga combo.
Must be atx or smaller
Must support ddr1 ram
Should support northwood p4 socket 478
Must have built in sound (6 channel preferred)
Must have onboard 10/100
Must run media portal (obviously)
Must be able to run media portal playing back xvid 480 content with ac3 / dts sound
Support IDE HDD's
