(3) Don't buy either if you are planning on using 3d graphics in Fedora right
now.
(4) Buy a second inexpensive card for use in Fedora. Or reuse one of the many
cards you have sitting around after replacing your video card every year.
Agree, buy a cheap totally unaccelerated card which you can run with the vesa
driver. Video in Fedora will get better, or it will become so little used no one
will care. When/if decent video support returns you can get a supported card.
