Good catch! I'm not sure.
Release notes say:
Minimum: Pentium-class
Fedora Core 3 is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports
earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium
III, and including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been
taken because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in
reduced performance for non-Pentium-class processors, and
Pentium 4 scheduling is sufficiently different (while making up
the bulk of today's processors) to warrant this change.
* Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
* Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better
Looks like it should work.
