Um, most nForce2 boards don't have onboard video. I'm not sure how the onboard video would perform compared to an AGP G4MX. Rut regardless, all the nForce2 boards are great values, considering the number of features they have.

First off the nForce2 board is worth getting. Only a FEW of the nForce2 boards come with onboard video. I know EPox has one coming out with onboard GF4 MX 440 graphics on it. It is the EPoX 8RGA. And I think that the board ONLY automatically unlocks T-Bred processers. I highly recommend the EPoX 8RDA+ motherboard. It comes with onboard LAN and Sound. You can also pop in 2 memory sticks and put the Duel DDR action in effect (1 memory stick will work fine though).
