Loaded Fedora Core 3 on an AMD64, ASUS K8N, installation went pretty well, found the sound card and the network card (NVIDIA chipset), BUT...
WAN is REALLY slow, such that I cannot update either thru command line or using a browser, it works but is bog slow. Tried external 3COM card, also installed without problems, but it too is very slow. Wait for 20 sec to connect, then downloads are 1-2KB if at all.
You mentioned attempting to update, but you did not mention if this network slowness is true in -all- cases of downloading anything at all from the net. How about if you ftp some stuff from anywhere. How about downloading the kernel source from kernel.org, is that still slow?
