I regularly run Fedora AND Centos on older systems, but normally only 5 
years old.  Both continue to support 32 bit and as long as memory is 
really 1GB install graphically just fine.  If memory is less, then they 
go to text based install.

Further, although RHEL7 is saying 64 bit only, there will be a Centos 7 
SIG that will do a 32 bit version.

So you should be fine.
