From the specs on a generic Compaq Presario 5190 it shows 128mb of
memory.  FC2 requires a bare minimum of 192mb to run graphics and a
400Mhz or better processor.  Check out the release notes for FC2, you
may be able to upgrade your machine to run Fedora.  The release notes
can be found at:

Good luck,
