Are there any mobos with onboard video that support 1440x900
resolution? I'm looking to build a budget system so probably an
AM2 mobo but I'm open to C2D suggestions too. Having the ability
to overclock a little bit would be great, but if not, its not that big
of a deal.

The system will mainly be used for surfing, encoding video, and a
few other things, but no games will be played on it. The 1440x900
is needed to support my 19" widescreen.

Thanks.

Id imagine all newer onboard graphics supports 1440x900 these days.
For a great overclocker with onboard try the Gigabyte DS3 (with onboard because there are also DS3's without)

The AMD 690G chipset boards support that resolution and are generally nice. I used this one in a build with an X2 4800+ and it works great on a 22" WS @ 1680x1050. Make sure to feed these 2 Gigs of quality DDR2-800 RAM, as the graphics share the system RAM.

By the way, the Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3(with video) sucks for overclocking (as does pretty much any G965 board). The GA-965P-DS3 (without video) is fantastic at overclocking. Huge difference from changing that one letter...
