Hi Andy 
I work for Proline in South Africa
Yesterday I installed fedora Core on an MSi with an intel chipset board,
with 2x 240Gig serial ATA hdds in it had a Geforce 5600 128mb ddr screen
card and 
2 gigs dual band ddr ram
The onboards all worked I downloaded the latest nvidia driver from
www.nvidia.com and off she goes, 

Chad
