The vast majority of nVidia cards will Just Work, in 2D with the "nv" module,
or 3D with the evil binary-only nvidia module. Haven't used that model, but
I've had no problems with any nVidia card since 2000. The live CD will
probably use "nv", which should be totally fine for the non-3D things you said
you wanted to do.

I've got a 250G SATA disk that isn't doing anything at all. Ran "dd
if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc bs=64k ; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=64k" 3
times on it, natch.
