I believe they provide the only vendor supplied open drivers that support 3D.It's too late for that. I already have the motherboard...
He meant Intel's video card, they don't make only CPUs: http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/d945gnt/index.htmThis video card should be supported on Fedora 7 out of the box, with accelerated 3D. Ask on the fedora-users mailing list, it is monitored by Intel's employees; I'm pretty sure that it's good to go, but you should try to get a confirmation from the horse's mouth.
The above card is for the ATX form factor. There are other variations of this card for other form factors.
