I have the same card ^_^
All I did was download the binary driver from www.nvidia.com, then boot 
up into run level 3 (no X11) and run the install program. You may need 
the kernel headers installed (depending on your version). Next, run 
'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86', and on the driver menu, change 'nv' 
to 'nvidia'. Finally, run 'dexconf' to write your new X11 config, and 
reboot. If it worked, before the login screen you should see a white 
screen with the nVIDIA logo.
