You don't want built-in video (IMHO).  You want video/sound on an
add-on cards.  Look at a  A7M266-M, no video, but has sound (I don't
use the built-in sound).  This is what I'm using -

 A7M266-M OEM  * OEM * Asus A7M266-M OEM For HP. Support AMD? Athlon / Duron 
550MHz ~ 1GHz+ processors, 266MHz FSB and up to 1GB PC2100 / PC1600 DDR DRAM , 
AGP Pro/4X, UDMA 100, Built-in, Lan 10/100, Sound. Base on AMD 761chipset 

Will support Athlon XP 2000/2100. I got mine from http://www.centrix-intl.com

Downside to it the miserable Phoenix/HP bios with ACPI....
