Intel chipset boards for pentiums almost always use an intel graphics 
chipset.  On amd based boards, it varies greatly what you get.  I would 
assume an nforce chipset with onboard would probably use a nvidia 
chipsest.  Via and sis boards are bound to have different video 
chipsets.  Short answer:  it depends on the motherboard.

I bought an asus board without onboard video for this reason and got a 
lowend nvidia agp card to throw in since i knew it was supported by 
nvidia's drivers.  (nforce 2 motherboard chipset)  That worked out 
rather nicely.

One other thing to consider is online shopping.  My local computer 
store has a barebones for $250 but i can build the same system using 
newegg.com for $200 with better parts.  (i.e. asus board, name brand 
ram, etc)  I saw a case on there for 25 bucks the other day.  Locally 
the cheapest cases are 45 (both with power supply).  I'm sure there are 
other sites too.
