It shouldn't be a problem. When I added my GeForce FX 5700LE, it was automatically detected (checked with lspci). To enable 3D acceleration you can install nvidia driver using the module-assistant method (see link below). After that you install nvidia module I think you will have to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (Etch). http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers?highlight=%28nvidia%29#head-da25e4acfc1b456e21717d2178b938ba4306e9cd You can also use the nv module (free) by just reconfiguring Xorg if you don't want to use the proprietary nvidia drivers.
