[Solved]Nvidia Geforce 7100 GS support?

Hi,
I want to install Arch Linux on my old PC with Core2Duo CPU, 4GB DDR2 Ram, 80GB HDD and Nvidia Geforce 7100 GS GPU.
I find this in archwiki:

GeForce 7 series cards and older [NV6x, NV4x and lower] do not have a driver packaged for Arch Linux.

Is there any way to use this card on arch linux or i'm forced to find some other distro with support for this card?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks.

You can use nouveau, otherwise you'd really want to use a distribution that's more intended for lower end hardware by having a "older" kernel and userspace that can reliably use the 304 driver.
