	I have never done this but today the Fedora kernels have just about 
every graphic card known in them. But yours sounds a bit special so 
there may be a problem. The way to do it will be to open the computer 
while it is turned off, remove your current card and put in the new card 
and boot your FC6.

	With any luck it will work fine and your done. If not you can fall back 
to your old card.
