Review of Linux Gaming Using WineX 2.0
Ceyx writes "Toms Hardware ist running an Interesting review of DirectX Gaming under Linux using WineX. An interesting point is that the native Quake3 Arena runs faster with Linux then with windows." I had the good luck to play Jedi Knight Outcast and Return To Castle Wolfenstein at my friend's house, and it was really pretty good. The numbers show just how good the Linux drivers from nVidia are, so mad props to Mark V and his co-workers ...
Because the real reason we all have multiple boxes at home is because one computer setup or another will be inheriently more efficient at a given game than another.
Why? All the good platform-specific games (i.e. not netHack) are available for Windows. If you're a gamer, you only need a Wintel machine.
The only reason to have a dedicated Linux gaming machine is to play Tux Racer, and if that's the case, you've got more problems than the fact that you smell bad, your beard is too long, you live in your parents' basement, and you whack off to pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar every night.

What's with the decimal? Gross, use hexadecimal. Please reformat your post using hexadecimal dollar values--nerds hate decimal.
Forget what I said. Of course it's not surprising to any of us. It was posted by chrisd.
Return of Castle Wolfenstein sounds a great game, Chris! I can't wait for it to come out for Windows. Is it better than Return to Castle Wolfenstein, or is it just more of the same?
