Intel CE2110:

This appears to have a DDR2 interface, and analog + digital video output.

The problem with this chip is that the DDR2 interface is only 32 bits 
and the PCI interface is only 32bits at 33 MHz.  This would not be 
suitable for a high end board.

Still, it appears that this could be the basis for a medium priced video 
board.  This would work much better than a northbridge chip.
