I don't know whether you can get Compiz (the new 3D desktop stuff on
that).
If you can't (or don't care about it), then it's *really* worth checking
how much memory is being set aside for graphics (it's not technically a
card). This can be anywhere between 32 MB and 1 MB, depending on the
BIOS. If you can change this setting in the BIOS, then you may be able
to recover about 30 MB of RAM for Linux that now is being totally
wasted. The setting is likely to be called something like "graphics
memory size" or "video memory size".
Technically, it will be a 630 chipset, not a 730.
Hope this helps,
James.
