FWIW - I run 64bit FC7 and FC8 on my laptops without issue. ON FC7 I 
installed a 32 bit version of firefox to save on plugin issues (just 
don't use Acrobat reader it's crap).

I use my laptop for development with 4g memory, run's like a charm. 
Installing Fedora 8 from scratch worked fine, but I had to install the 
nvidia drivers to get the best performance.

Cheers,
Peter.
