No, it doesn't matter *unless* you want to use the Intel VGA. For GeForce 7600GS you have the following options: 1/ "nv" driver (only 2-D) 2/ "nvidia" driver from Debian "contrib" and "non-free" sources 3/ "nvidia" driver from nvidia website 4/ VESA driver (not recommended) I am currently using option #2 for my GeForce 7600GS in Debian lenny and works pretty well.
