But does Fedora 15 "require high end hardware"? No, it doesn't. You can run other desktops, such as XFCE (which you mention as well), and still run all of the same apps.
So while Gnome 3 may require better video hardware than was available on an eight year old machine, that doesn't mean Fedora 15 itself requires that better hardware.
Right; and even Gnome 3 will run just fine on older hardware - it'll just resort to fallback mode and the Gnome 2 style environment that so many people seem to miss so much.
Only if you're lucky ... I've seen cases, where this does not apply.
