???
No: that chipset is supported by default open-source "nouveau" video driver (included with Fedora). It's not supported by proprietary NVidia drivers (well, actually: it is by legacy driver series 71xx, but I don't think those work with F12 - not sure about that, you can try and let us know for sure).

if any of the nvidia drivers support your card, it will be the 96xx driver.

benico,
Forget it, just use the plain jane video driver, nouveau. I'm using a Creative Labs GeForce2 Ultra 64 megs card.
Looks very decent. Pictures and videos looks decent, no poor quality at all.
Cheers

Yes, the nouveau drivers are improving. Unless you need 3D support, they seem to work pretty good.
