Default Air compressor adivce: Too cheap?

I've got molding to put up. Just in my kitchen, I hope. Baseboard

Really cheap.

I found a place to get a refurbished Porter Cable finish nailer. That
leaves the compressor. I've been looking at this tiny 1 gallon
Campbel-Hausfeld model, 100psi max.

I saw a review in a magazine that suggested it could be used for
nailing. I think that I understand the consequence of the tiny
tank;I'll only be able to shoot a few nails in quick succession. I
don't imagine that will be too much of a hardship for my use.

But what about the 100 psi? The nailer specs say it works from 70-120
psi. Will I have enough oomph?

As I wrote above, I'd like to be cheap about this, IF it doesn't
result in too much frustration. Can I?

Oh,in addition,later,you can add other air tools as you desire.
Even cheap Harbor Freight airtools.
