I agree with Eike's suggestion that testing with a live CD is the 
minimum.
Especially as the video processor is not specified.

If you don't have the possibility of downloading/burning CD/DVD, 
check the vendor list at https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ [my 
preferred U.S. vendor offers a Live DVD with your choice Desktop 
for $6 {free shipping on orders over $20}).

You should tell us more about your intended use. There are many 
Debian Pure Blends optimized for a specific audience 
[https://www.debian.org/blends/ and 
http://blends.debian.org/blends/ ].
