Out of curiosity, would it be possible to try x86_64 4.2? Our graphics
workstation here (with similar hardware to yours) runs the x86_64 version
(although we haven't moved to 4.2 yet) quite well. And, Nvidia's x86_64
drivers contain 32bit compat libraries, so standard x86 apps get the
hardware acceleration as do x86_64 ones.
