I hope to be installing Debian in a new computer in about a week or so. It will have a Haswell processor and I hope to be able to get by with the built in video. But, if it doesn't work well I have an Nvidia 8600GT card I can take from my old system.
But, I really don't know what's involved in switching. If the Intel video drivers are installed and I shutdown, install the Nvidia card and reboot I assume the system won't load X, although I'll have the command line to work with. I have a little experience with Aptitude and apt-get, will installing the correct drivers remove the old ones? And what package name would I have to use to install Nvidia's drivers from the repository. I have (almost) always used Nvidia's drivers downloaded from their site because when I search in Synaptic for nvidia I'm not sure which packages I need to install.
