Thank you Robert and Lennart
I will look at this very carefully indeed -- heading over to the shop
tomorrow after work to get the card itself checked, just in case. If it's
without defects then I'll be hopefully replacing the board next week.
Kind regards

Well so far I have no issues at
http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatlist3.html
The problems with the 8800's seem to happen on Intel and Via based
Motherboards. I haven't heard of any problems with the recent nforce
boards.

Looks like I spoke too soon. It's the motherboard, as someone else
mentioned.
I am about to take a brick to it.

I reinstalled last night with the card in from the start and it appears to
be using the nv driver well.
Now I need to test the proprietary driver, will keep everyone posted.
Thanks Len! These are good suggestions, I'm sorry I wasn't able to test
them.

The bios got updated a few weeks ago to the most recent version. I just
realised that I can just reinstall Debian, this time with the videocard
plugged in from the start, and then upgrade that way. I'll try that and see
how it goes.
I removed the videocard and booted into a 2gb setup. seems ok, bu

If the computer work fine without the new video card the ram is good
but the "hole" to the external video card is defective, you shuld try
to upgrade your BIOS and if that don't work the motherboard is the
part not compatible.

1. The motherboard?
2. The RAM I removed?
3. The RAM I left?
4. All 4 sticks?
Just as a side note, I called
I thought they had. Anyway, I'll see about the RAM sticks tonight. Saturday
is my last day for returning the card if it's defective; I have no other
machines to test it though (my spare machine is very old and doesn't even
have an AGP slot).

Or the intel graphics don't have sufficient 3D driver support to run
compiz.

In my opinion you should try another video card...
and you should be able to identify the X driver (I don't know how,
google should help with it) and use that in debian (until you could
use the nvidia driver) ...

OK, here are the results of my testing:
Ubuntu produces the same result as Debian - no graphics mode launched at
all, screen a total blank.
Knoppix 5.1.1 forces the screen into an epileptic's nightmare, it flashes
like crazy for about a minute or two, then starts up X (nv driver?), and
functions
Not yet. I have downloaded the 7.10 ubuntu liveCD iso though, will test
tonight.

OK, I've experimented with including both
video:vga16:off and
video:vesa:off
Both still fail. But, I have noticed some interesting things about booting
from the onboard:
1. The last line that I said read "input..." reads "input: AT
translated"
2. The first 2 lines from the onboard
I'll also attach my config at that time too, forgot to mention.

Thanks Len and Jaime,
I'll try disabling video output -- I strongly suspect it's an errant
framebuffer in there somewhere. I can't see it being duff RAM, as the last
time this happened to me on Linux was ... in my first year of using it. Will
report later tonight when I get back from work.
