The OpenGL challenge isn't so much the window content as the representation window size - with less video RAM, make a smaller window. Since you have the puny screen anyways, it shouldn't be a challenge.
On the lesser video RAM screens, the situation must be managed, and ArchiCAD 10 has more OpenGL options to minimise jerkiness:
-- feedback speed can now be limited, and representation distance can be controlled.
-- And, as always, you can reduce OpenGL aspects to reduce processor load - especially to turn off texture representation.
So, you might be right that your highly-detailed model might stress a 64 Mg RAM situation, but there are things to be done to make the cheap machine work better.
Its a minimum solution.... don't forget that if you spend more money, you not only get the proper video RAM, but the glowing keys, too. Ooo, baby.
