 The nvidia video drivers.  I think fedora don't ship these because
of licensing issues.

 Unless somebody who knows about these things jumps up and says that
you need to do something different on an SMP host, assume this is
not a problem (I think I was thinking about problems occasionally
reported with parallel makes in the dim and distant past).

 memtest86+ from freshmeat.  I think you said you had 4GB of memory
- my experience with PC motherboards is that the manufacturers don't
expect anyone to use anything like the maximum possible amount of
RAM, and doing so can lead to instability.  On the mobo I'm using
for my server with 4x512Mb it's unstable at DDR200 but fine at
DDR166 (but if I fit any two of the memory sticks, it's stable at
DDR200).
