Aquarium on mobile VIA ProSavage KN133?

Hello there.
I am new to both the Aquarium and this forum, and was wondering if (and how well) the laptop I am planning to buy will be able to use this fabulous program.
My future laptop is a Compaq Presario 701 --- one with a Duron 950Mhz, 256Mbs PC133 SDRAM, 14 TFT and, more importantly a "VIA ProSavage KN133" AGP video card using the ever-so unpopular Shared Memory Architecture setup.
I know that Aquarium is supposed to run on mobile SavageMX machines, but in this case, it is the "Shared Memory" part that has me woried (does mobile SavageMX share its memory too?)

thanks in advance for your input!

PS: Other info such as game performance of the afformentioned system would also be welcome.. My (kind of old) main system has been a PentiumII-450 with a RivaTNT1 card (the one with the uncrippled memory bandwith --- not Vanta or M64). Do you think the new laptop will outperform it, Aquarium and games-wise?
