I have never really upgraded an OS I just don't trust upgrading.

Yes asumming that you actually have intel 810, card in the system.
Sounds like some kind of problem with your drivers, or hardware you
should try updating, X-windows,  FC3 will have yum. From the console
you can run yum update to automatically update(up2date sould be
installed if yum is not). There are a lot of update for FC3 I would
recomend FC4 sense it is out and you have not yet spent that much time
configuring FC3 yet.
