No, the devs say use nvidia graphics + nvidia proprietary drivers but
/have/ CPU power.
I would agree that you don't want to use the AMD integrated graphics.
You'd be better off not getting an E-350 (or any Fusion GPU) and,
instead, using a plain old AMD Athlon II + discrete nvidia GPU (or even
using the E-350 + discrete nvidia GPU, with integrated AMD GPU
disabled). Or, for that matter, you could go with Core i3/i5 + nvidia GPU.
As far as video goes, I'll almost guarantee you'd be happier with the
Atom + nvidia graphics than with E-350 using AMD graphics. Note,
though, that I am not recommending an Atom-based system.
