It sounds as though you want i386. This is right for anything
PC-compatible since the Pentium. (Exceptions: if you have an Itanium,
you probably would want IA-64, which I believe Fedora doesn't support;
if you have an AMD Athlon 64 or Opteron, you *might* want x86-64. A
few very recent high-end Xeons can run this, too.)
The i386 (= x86) comes with separate i586 and i686 versions of packages
if that gives extra performance or extra features.

Um. "Belkin PCI card" isn't very descriptive. If you have any problems
under FC2, please ask us, but *please* give us a little more to go on!
Thanks,
James.
