I tried FC4 three weeks ago, I didn't fully test it because there were
some key applications for me that didn't work at all on it. So I tried
FC3 and those applications run well.

Hardware specifications:
-PIV 2.8GHz
-768MB RAM
-HD 80GB
-ATI Radeon IGP 345M integrated video card (64MB)
-PCMCIA wireless LAN card (I don't think it causes any conflict, because
the problem arises both with and without the card)
-10/100 Ethernet integrated card (I don't use it right now)
-56K integrated modem working with Linuxant drivers.

OS: FC3, custom kernel 2.6.12 (From the sources provided by Fedora, NOT
vanilla kernel)
