A week later a friend of mine explained to me (I was not the only one that didn't know that ) that the Intel Core 2 Duo does 64 bit and is therefore compatible with the amd64 version of Debian.
Of course I immediately downloaded Debian amd64 netinst and installed that version, downloaded the 64 bit version of the NVIDIA driver and thought I would live happily ever after again. Sadly after a few minutes my X.org server started to become slower and slower until it froze. I won't give you all the gory details on how I tried to fix the problem, but at the end I decided to go back to the i386 Debian version. Maybe after 2.6.19 kernel, I should try again?"
