The laptop has fc2 running now, but not very well - i just installed it 'out of the box' with no tweaks. I now want to put fc3 on with whatever tweaks people can suggest.
Run XFCE4, not Gnome or KDE. That will save you a *lot* of memory which your system can use for other things.
Disable any services you don't absolutely need after the installation. FC3 runs more stuff by default than you will need on an older box.
For casual browsing on old hardware, you might want to install dillo in addition to firefox/mozilla. See http://www.dillo.org/
and have you read the "Fedora Core 3 x86 Release Notes" at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/ ?
