I've been waiting for the ION, however it always seemed like it was a warmed over P-Pro or P3.
ZOTAC GF9300-D-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9300 HDMI Mini ITX Intel Motherboard - Retail ~$139
Mini-ITX
Core2 capable, Quad also
Good enough IGP for surfing and average gaming,
BUT IT HAS x16 PCIe slot!
Throw in one of ATI's new 4770(?) that beats the 4830 with less power for $90, and I think that'll work as a HTPC just fine.
$139 at NewEgg.
