We have a EM64T machine.

I never got it to use any nvidia driver with any
kernel > 2.6.10, neither in FC3 nor in FC4.

The machine just hangs as soon as X starts.

So currently, this machine runs FC3 x86_64
with a 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp kernel.

So you could try FC3 with this kernel and see
if it works.
