I must admit I'm just a newb, but I think a fresh "clean" install of Fedora Core 3 or 2 would be better instead of installing core 4. I heard somewhere in the fedora website that fedora was gently optimized for the pentium processor, but not completely optimized to allow for better compatibility with other processors though. It must be an OS problem because it runs other operating system such as win98 smoothly. Try reading the boot screen (use interactive boot to execute specific components) and look if anything is amiss i.e. did not detect nvidia hardware. I think it could also be the GPU, its drivers may have not been updated for linux. Try downloading the latest drivers for nvidia or following http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html on how to get nvidia to work with your system.
Goodluck!
I did look at the boot screen during startup, the only thing thing that failed was the internet connection, not suprising considering the fact that the cable was not plugged in! I think that you are right and I will switch distros. I should have researched that first...
