I think you should know beforehand that most shared memory nvdia gpus have very bad support if they have any at all (apart from MCP79 series). You will probably find out that you will only get it to work in low res, no resolution change or hardware aceleration at most.

Sure it "works" but this guy has no "graphic acceleration" - just running in the VESA mode - as thorazine74 mentioned above.

This migh be problem if you want to watch HQ videos and things related. If you're just into tasks like text processing and surfing the web, you can ofcourse work properly with it - maybe with some little glitches in the GUI.
