Yerrrrsss...
However I believe that one can obtain a copy for evaluation purposes from special online stores if one knows where to look

its pretty simple to dual boot 
first burn a CD and stick it in, put it into live cd to see if youre hardware is compatible (you should be ok)

You can, but it's still more commonly supplied as 2 x 1Gb sticks at the moment.
2 gig sticks here:

It's most likely a graphics driver issue with GNOME Desktop and your laptop's onboard graphics. You could try a different Linux distro like OpenSUSE or Mandriva and select KDE desktop instead of GNOME.
Other than that, it'll probably involve booting into the command line, installing drivers and mucking about with config files. Yuk!
