But I can let you know that I installed 10.0 Official on my A7n8x-x asus board (no onboard video) with a nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX 400. I did a clean isntall and everything just worked, no need to install any other drivers or anything. This was better than my expeirience with 9.2 which did require me installing a driver.
