You will want the Linux IA32 drivers. Here's a tip on installing the
Nvidia driver:

1. Download the source rpm (.src.rpm) and NOT the actually RPM that
matches your version of Linux.
2. Make sure you have rpm-build installed (atp-get install rpm-build)*.
3. cd into the folder where you downloaded the two .src.rpm files (One's
called Kernel, and the other is called GLX).
3. Then, do this: rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm
4. That creates two RPMS in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ Go there and do
this: rpm -Uvh NV*rpm
That will install the RPMs.

Then, be sure to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config and replace "nv" with
"nvidia" and comment out the two lines that the readme tells you to (I
think dri and something else). Restart X and log back in and welcome to
your 3D accelerated desktop.

Let us know if you get stuck.

Good luck!
