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.
