This page talks about Ubuntu and Nvidia https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia in 8.04, 7.10 and 6.06 Now if the version of Ubuntu supplied with the EMC2 download is different from the Ubuntu 8.04 I don't know. On my main desktop I use openSuSE 11.1 and Nvidia with no issues. My EMC2 machine is a Shuttle KPC-K45 Intel Dual Core cpu at 1.8 GHz with 2 gigs of ram using the motherboard video, sorry I don't know off hand what video chip set it is it seems to work very well.
