MCP7A Ultra Chipset (GeForce 9400) compatibility?

Hello all! I'm planning to purchase a new Core 2 Quad motherboard, for an Arch-based NAS server and secondary box. I was thinking of using one of the GeForce 9300/9400 integrated boards, so I would have the benefits of a video chipset without a separate card, but recently I read that this is not supported in Linux.  Can anyone confirm that boards like  http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mot … uctID=2946 are viable? Even on the Nvidia site, they have the graphics drivers, but no chipset drivers for Linux.

Thanks.

Hmmm... on Nvidia's site it seems to insinuate that chipset drivers for Nforce boards (Including the GeForce 9400 ones) are included in the kernal - except for really old versions, which it seems you can download for Nforce1-4 based gear.

Any idea? I guess my key question at the moment is if I should purchase one of these boards, or a P45 based mATX.
