We have an almost identical configuration here (Dell 530, Xeon 2.0 GHz,
Quadro 700XGL), and we've gotten several versions of Performer and
Red Hat working fine. I think the key is to download the src.rpm kernel
driver from NVIDIA's site and build it with the kernel you're currently
using:

   Download NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.src.rpm and NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm
      and put in /tmp (or wherever is convenient)
   rpm -Uvh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.src.rpm
   cd /usr/src/redhad/SPECS
   rpm -ba NVIDIA_kernel.spec
   rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.i386.rpm
   cd /tmp (or wherever you downloaded the rpm's)
   rpm -Uvh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.i386.rpm

In one of the "Device" sections of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, make sure you
change:

   Driver "nv"

to:

   Driver "nvidia"
   
Then reboot.

Hope this helps...
