In that case I would install kernel that ends with -default. 
That is smp kernel and perfectly fits your machine. 
The sources have to match running kernel, and than nvidia installation will 
not complain. 

Although someone removed advice for; 
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make oldconfig
   make prepare
from article 
  http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA
in my experience, nvidia installer will not work without at least first 2 
lines, ie, changing working directory to /usr/src/linux and than copy of 
current configuration:
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make oldconfig 
the only line that last version of nvidia installer didn't really needed 
was 'make prepare' . I added that too, just to make sure that every possible 
effort is made to have all bits ready. 

The guy that removed above 3 commands from article is, so far I know, one of 
kernel developers, and I don't go in discussion what is right, the SUSE 
kernel or nvidia installer creators.
