WineX 3.0 Examined
GonzoJohn writes "When I first subscribed to Transgaming's WineX 2.1 product last year, I was pleasantly surprised that nearly half of the games I had were supported to a degree. The games that did run ran pretty flawlessly. The games that didn't work had varying degrees of success, all just short of actually being able to play the game (the installers seemed to work). With the release of WineX 3.0 from Transgaming on April 17th this year, it looked like it was time to revisit the wonderful world of Wine. This time around, Transgaming WineX 3.0 has some new tools as well as improvements in the number of games supported and gaming speeds. In this article, we're going to take a look at the new features of WineX 3.0, with a focus on their new GUI installer called Point2Play."
CPU Type and Speed
------------------
Recommended minimum hardware is
- 500 MHz or faster Pentium or Athlon CPU
- 64MB of memory; 128 MB or higher recommended
- 1-2 GB free hard disk space for games
- Linux Supported 3D graphics card with 16MB of video RAM is required.
nVidia GeForce-class GPU recommended.
Is that just for Wine?? Now I understand that expecting this to run UT:2003 on a 386 is a little unreasonable, but this seems awful pricey if that's required/recommended just for the emulator itself.

Lebanese Baked Kibbee
- 1 pound (500 g) lean ground beef or lamb
- 1/2 cup fine- to medium-grade bulgar (crushed wheat)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine the meat, bulgar, onion, water, parsley, mint, allspice, pepper, and cinnamon in a food processor. Process until doughy.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Lightly oil an 8 inch square baking dish or a 9 inch round baking dish.
Pat half of the meat mixture into the pan. Sprinkle the nuts over the top. Then cover with the remaining meat. While still in the pan, cut the kibbe into 1 1/2 inch square or diamond shapes. Brush the peanut oil over the top.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until firm and browned well. Serve the kibbe from the pan or invert it onto a platter.

No, you just have to worry about whether you're using compatible DirectX libs or if... well, if 3D acceleration is enabled, actually.
Fucking idiots. They never learn.
