enough to run FC 4 TEST 1,if so it runs so slow that i
can not open any programs at all ,except sys monitor
and  GKrellm the cpu is running at 100% all the time
it is on, it gets so hot i have to stop FC4.

I'm sure opinion varies, but I found it a struggle to run FC3 inside of
236 MB.  The addition of a second 256MB really does add considerable
value to your system (IMO).

run top and see what is chewing up all the cpu time. on a mac mini it
was gdm.  yum update gdm fixed it.

update your gdm package from rawhide and see if that fixes it.  (might
even just update your whole system to rawhide while your at it)
