Well the OS itself should work but graphics will just be VESA, you will miss some stuff like Coverflow on iTunes or VLC will not be showing video.... If you just want to do stuff like textprocessing on OpenOffice, surf the web & watch some videos on YouTube you won't miss it that much I would guess.
You can compare this with running Windows without proper graphic driver.
Apart a 7000-Series GeForce can be baught for about 15€ or even cheaper on eBay.de (I dunno what country you are from - situation might be different.)
