If you can try them out with a live usb before buying, that would probably
be a good thing to do. You can get an F14 desktop livecd from:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/

Since we are are the step of building Beta RC images, the live image should
be a pretty good reflection of what to expect for video support for F14.
(Though there are still video test days scheduled to try and catch some
bugs before the general availability release.)
