Suggestions for putting together an X-Amiga System

[techie]

Greetings all,
I had an old clunker of a PC that I was planning to put X-Amiga on but when I tried to turn it on this morning it wouldn't even boot. I eventually managed to get it running again but only to discover that 3 of the 4 Ram slots were no longer registering, neither was the CD drive nor one of the two hard drives. I think it's safe to say that this motherboard has had it's day and it's time to start looking for a replacement.

I remembered that Amiga Roundtable mentioned something about setting up a gOS development kit motherboard and I even found a site that is selling these boards here. A quick search on the web seems to say that this is a good retailer (or at least according to this anyway) but I can't seem to find much on the board itself.

So I was just wondering what all your thoughts are on this setup? Would it be good enough to run X-Amiga and maybe Kubuntu linux? Would it be worth also picking up a cheap PCI (I assume that's a PCI slot and not PCI Express) video card to use instead of the on board video?

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to let you all know what I think of the system if I do end up building it. :-)

As far as I can see, there's no onboard gfx card.
I got my mobo destroyed when I did put a PCI gfx card in it, which apparently conflicted with the onboard gfx card. :-S

According to one website the mobo comes with

The VIA CN700 digital media chipset features the VIA UniChrome™ IGP Pro integrated 2D/3D graphics processor
(up to 1600 x 1200 with 128MB shared memory)

I was just wondering if this would work for X-Amiga or if getting a cheap PCI video card would be worth the extra money.
