(IA32=pentium[mmx,ll.lll.lV],AMD athlon)
(IA64=Itanium or Itanium II processors)
(AMD64=AMD's Hammer chips)

You might want to make sure you have the right files. Looks like you 
downloaded the AMD64 which is for the Hammer chip. if you have and athlon use 
the 32bit IA32 file. 

I used the src rpms because wasn't all that sure which rpm to use I'm running
MDK8.2 on a Athlon 1.5 on an ECS board with a Geforce4 agp.

 I pretty much followed the Readme at: 
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-4191/README
on building and installing the kernel and glx drivers,
then editing the XF86Config or on my system XF86Config-4 file.
also instructions on useing tar also.
I did all in console with the X server not running as they instructed
and worked out nice.
