Yes, that's probably the right driver, if you are on a 32 bits system.

Nvidia is actually pretty easy to install, just follow the directions here:

NvidiaGraphicsDrivers - Debian Wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

Never been able to get compix/beryl to work properly myself, but then again its just eyecandy.

I also have a Fx5500 card and it runs just fine, I have had issues trying to use a driver newer than 8776 however. So if the 97** drivers give you problems install 8776 driver.
