I'm going to take a wild stab and the dark and say it's probably this one:

http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=RS480M2-IL&class=mb

It's MSI, Micro ATX and it has the ATi XPRESS 200 chipset in it.

The MSI site doesn't really give much info on it. From what it does give, I'd say it's something relatively modern (Pixel Shader 2.0 support has only really become an issue recently), probably an X800 derivative or something:

Video   
    
3D Graphics    
•   Full DirectX 9.0 Support (Vertex Shader v2.0 and Pixel Shader v2.0) with full precision floating point pixel pipeline, up to 4 Multiple-Render-Targets (MRTs)   
•   Supports Microsoft's next generation GDI+user interface and support resolution up to 2536x2536@32bpp    
2D Graphics    
•   Highly optimized 128-bit engine capable of processing multiple pixels per clock    
•   Game acceleration including support for Microsoft's DirectDraw, Double Buffering, Virtual Sprites, Transparent Blit, and Masked Blit.    
•   Supports a maximum resolution of 2048x1536@32bpp    
•   Support for new GDI extensions in Windows® XP: Alpha BLT, Transparent BLT, Gradient Fill


For integrated video it seems pretty respectable though given that it's from ATi, a company whom vide cards make up a large part of their business, I'd expect that if one thing on this chipset were to be any good it would be the onboard graphics (same applies with nVidia and nForce). In any event though, plugging in a seperate videocard usually disables the onboard so it's likely Nuke isn't even using the onboard video.
