It is not really the GNOME 3 Shell.  It is a very early version and hasn't been updated in several months.  The UI has changed in major ways.  If you really want to test that, I recommend using Rawhide


Can you suggest minimum hardware needed to run gnome-shell?  Also in
f14 what is 3d support like for nvidia cards and ati cards that will
govern whether or not gnome shell will work with them?

Is it possible to run gnome-shell with Intel graphics in some, a few,
or many, cases - and is there a list of the ones that are likely to
work?

GNOME Shell will require 3D support in the drivers, yes.

There will also be a fallback mode for systems that don't support GNOME Shell
