F7, F7.92 install failed on C2D G33 platform

Hi,

At first, regarding installation problem on new hardware, is this
a right place to discuss about it ? Or is it better to move fedora-test
or somewhere ?

According to the intellinuxgraphics.org/document, there may be no
distributer supports intel G33(GMA3100) chip graphic driver. So I have
to recompile them, and install some of them into the kernel.  It might
be pretty risky for me. So I'm looking for the major graphic board to
install Fedora easier. I have been looking some article on the
fedoraforum about nVidia and ATI. According to them, they have still
problems, such as 3D, 8600GT maybe OK, GTS not, but there is only a
few information about specific graphic card model number(Chip number)
to buy now.

So my qustion is, if you know, could you tell what model number has
been working, and what problems do you know ?

I don't know fedorafaq.org, thanks.
