I tried to resurrect a 32-bit desktop with a Pentium 4 processor by installing CentOS 7 32-bit version. Everything installed OK, but after the first boot, the performance was unusable. And, the X11 would crash repeatedly. CentOS 7-32 is completely useless.
You need a light weight desktop like XFCE which is available for CentOS from epel. Epel 7 doesn't natively come in i386 but CentOS has provided a rebuild at https://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-epel.i386/
