Swapping out graphics card
I currently have a nvidia based agp graphics card installed in my computer. If I swap it out for an agp ati graphics card, will my system boot correctly since the computer is set for the nvidia card?

Out of curiosity, why are you switching from an nvidia to ATI? Support for nvidia is MUCH better in FC than ATI.

@pparks1: Don't generalize things too much like that. FC has much better support for Radeon R200s than any other card.

@Rick069: To get FC to configure the new card, just run system-config-display after the hardware's in.

My bad. It's another nvidia graphics card. Should have looked more closely at the box.
