Hi,

If you are not "afraid" of proprietary drivers you can try the NVIDIA driver from SL contrib:

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/51/i386/contrib/video/

Install nvidia-x11-drv and dkms. dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) will take care that the nvidia kernel 
module is rebuilt after a kernel update.

Configure the nvidia driver with /usr/bin/nvidia-settings and not with system-config-display.
