It is a DirectX 11 card (but a slow one), I guess you can run Eve with low graphic settings. 4 GB RAM is enough for 2 clients.

expect to run the clients on minimum settings as this is an integrated gfx chipset

Should run the in-space portion of EVE just fine. EVE ran just fine on my old laptop, and it had an integrated GeForce Go that's not even listed on NotebookCheck anymore. You may get lag and heat issues if you use high shaders and other resource-intensive settings when there's lots of stuff happening on the screen, however.
