This product works well under Linux. It is best described as halfway between an IGP and a real graphics card.It has a discrete GPU and some onboard memory, but it can use system RAM as framebuffer if you have more than 512MB in your system (mine has 2GB.) It more than suffices to drive as big of a monitor as you can throw at it- mine is a 1600x1200 LCD- and can do dual-head and output to TVs via S-VHS. The latest nVidia ForceWare drivers work perfectly.
Gaming performance is pretty poor, but this is an excellent HTPC card as it is fanless (dead silent) and half-height so it can fit into skinny cases. It works well as a workstation card unless you are doing really serious graphics. I recommend this card over any integrated graphics as it is a lot better and it is pretty reasonably-priced.

This card is simply the best bang-for-your-buck" GPU available.
Can even be tweaked a bit with nvclock utility
Note that I use every available apps _but_ big games (still, gltron runs much better on this than on nVidia AGP 5200FX)

Probably due to the ram mapping and driver bugs the card makes errors in 3D under moderate load. It is probably good if you do not touch 3d, but then why to buy this one?
