Where did you read this? FC6 ships with everything needed. If you need 3D accleration for graphics, then you'd need to install the nvidia X driver after installing the OS, but beyond that, you shouldn't need to do anything special.
It may be worth disabling rhgb to avoid a disappearing mouse pointer bug (which aflicts both nv and nvidia drivers) alternatively adjust xorg.conf to use a software mouse pointer). I don't use SATA or hardware RAID, so I don't know if there are any problems with those. I do use the ethernet controller with a n430 chipset, but not on x86_64. As far as installing 32 bit FC6 goes it was straightforward, but I haven't tried 64bit. The nvidia driver is needed for dual head support, a 64bit version can be found in the usual repos. -- imalone
