The current stable release of Debian (2.2) includes XFree86 3.3.6.
According to the xfree86 website:
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/NVIDIA1.html#1
Your card is supported.

If you want to support the Debian project, purchase a CD set from a vendor
who specifically advertises that they will donate funds to Debian.
See:
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/
for a list of CD vendors. Some vendors will sell two versions of the CD,
one (for a very small price) which is simply the Official CD set, and
another, for a somewhat larger price, where the difference is donated to
Debian.
