Low memory installations
Fedora 20 can be installed and used on systems with limited resources for
some applications. Text, vnc, or kickstart installations are advised over
graphical installation for systems with very low memory. Larger package
sets require more memory during installation, so users with less than 768MB
of system memory may have better results preforming a minimal install and
adding to it afterward.
For best results on systems with less than 1GB of memory, use the DVD
installation image.

I did consider that possibility Eddie and it may well limit my ultimate
choice of desktop. I am hoping that the main limiting factor is the lack of
system memory rather than video memory. However, I will have to wait for a
couple of days to find out.
Well you've got 10GB of swap, so while the system may get dog slow,
desktop still shouldn't crash. Gnome has a work around to deal with
blacklisted or less capable video hardware. It's slower and takes up more
memory, but again it still shouldn't crash. So I'm suggesting that's a bug
that may already be fixed by upgrading. Or it might take some searching in
bugzilla to find it and possibly a work around. Or worse case it's unique
to your hardware in which case it'd be good to file a bug.
