I have got an amd64 and a Nvidia Quadro card. So I can tell you about
my personal experiences. So far, X11 works in 32bit-mode on both
amd64 and i386. On a real i386 (AMD K6) active stereo was near to usable
(minor flickering), on the amd64 I observed a lot more of flickering
perturbations, in fact, there are only few moments, when stereo is
not disturbed. The standard nv driver works fine on amd64. I asked
for support for amd64 on the NVidia Linux forum. No answer till now.

Probably you better stick to Linux when using the NVidia card.
