Advantech PCM-9577 and ubuntu 10.04 live cd

I have a few of these and would like to get linuxcnc to work on them,
I tried to install 10.04 and I get shared memory erorrs and it crashes.

Its got a 1.2 ghz P3 with 512 MB ram.

It does have onboard video and I was going to try installing a video board, Would that help?
Any other sugestions?

This is the computer:
