Problems with Fedora Core 3

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,
- Dev.
