Wondering if the integrated Video for the xpress 200 chipset on a board I bought from the classifieds will be enough for Windows MCE. Right now I have an fx5700 Personal Cinema doing the work and it seems fine. Any ideas?

For an HTPC the video card shouldn't matter as long as it's got the right outputs. (or unless you're gaming with it)

ie- I had to buy a video card with S-Video out for my htpc.

Well agreed, but like, my radeon 7000 couldn't work because it wasnt supported by MCE

Should be fine.

MCE uses d3d for the menu system, and it's crappy enough to run on any modern 3d implementation
