Hello,
I've experienced problems in sound card installation with FC
3, and I found it to be generally quite unstable - it would not crach,
but applications such as gthumb running on it would crach
unexpectedly. This problem was the version that I had downloaded when
it had just been released. The machine on which I was having these
problems was a Pentium III 450 MHz. I have since installed Mandriva
2006 Linux on the same machine, because I needed multimedia
functionality on my machine, which this OS provided, since I was able
to install the sound card. I'm now upgrading to a Pentium Core 2 Duo
machine with on-board sound and graphics and wanted to check if it
will be all right to use any Fedora version core 3 and beyond, since
I've personally experienced problems with FC 3.
I was currently contemplating Fedora Core 2 64-bit for the
machine that I'm upgrading to, but I also wanted to check if it is all
right to run a 64-bit Fedora version for a home PC, although the
vendor says that a Pentium Core 2 Duo would support a 64-bit OS. Will
Fedora be able to detect on-board sound and graphics support on a
Pentium Core 2 Duo? There is no separate sound or graphics card, and
these functionalities are available only on the motherboard, which is
an OEM Intel Chipset motherboard.
Regards,
