I have two AMD-based desktops that work fine. One is a Shuttle SN78S
with an nVidia C77 (GeForce 8200) display. That machine's major guts
are also nVidia.

The other is Phenom X4-based on a MicroStar 785GTM-E45 motherboard with
an ATI RS880 (Radeon HD 4200) display and ATI guts. Both work well
under F16. Haven't made the plunge to F17 yet.

I guess graphics chipset is the biggest issue. Â I don't expect to need 3D
performance, but want decent 2D.

Any suggestions?


I've got a Dell N7110 which works pretty well. It's over a year old so
there may be replacements.

17", Intel Core i5, Intel graphics, Intel wireless, Realtek wired NIC.
Works pretty well.
