If you had multiple wii-motes they could resolve a higher resolution by doing some averaging in the software.
Also you would not have to worry as much about blocking the wii-mote.
Our Pasta, who "Arghh" in heaven, Swallowed be thy shame.
Thy Midgit come. Thy Sauce be yum, On top some grated Parmesan.
Give us this day our garlic bread. And give us our cutlasses,
As we swashbuckle, splice the main-brace and cuss.
And lead us into temptation, But deliver us some Pizza.

I had the same question a couple weeks ago.
Yes, PCI express slots can be used for other things than graphics cards. The PCI-SIG group designed PCI to be extremely flexible and basically to serve as a generic high-speed interconnect. So you can get RAID controller cards and other things which use different levels of PCI-express. If your board has two x16 slots, you can throw anything up to an x16 card in either one.
I forget where I saw this exact question answered, but you should be fine.
Watch out though if you want to do SLI graphics and have a nice soundcard - some of the high end boards apparently don't have enough room for 2 cards in SLI plus more than one PCI card - ie the Asus N32-SLI which is what I bought. So you might be stuck choosing between the accelerated physics and an add-in soundcard.
Oh yeah?
Well I'm a fifth level vegan -- I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

Now I'm confused. Is this driver something that "comes with" Xorg 6.8.2? Or is it the same driver I would have gotten by visiting ATI's site:
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html
and selecting Xorg 6.8 there? Though I don't recall, I'd be shocked if I didn't download the driver from ATI's site, and it was slow... Surely there is a linux driver out there that supports recent ATI cards with 3D support?!?
sure it is supported but is it supported well? The answer is no.
ATI's 3D Linux performance is much worse than a Windows-comparable nvidia card.
my 9500 Pro can barely handle bzflag with all the eye-candy off in linux. In windows it was smooth as silk. A new 6600GT solved that problem.
Gee.. I wonder if its any coincidence that on day 'n' the CEO steps down under pressure and on day 'n+1' HP announces its new lineup of Athlon 64 systems, making it the first big manufacturer to finally wake up.

LOL.. the point is not that it makes an oval or a circle on the wall...
the point is that from the users point of view, this appears as a circle. Your brain knows the light has created an oval on the wall, but the light will still appear in a circular shape, given that your eyes are close to the beam's source. Now if some other player in the game shines their light on the wall at an angle distinct from your own, then you should get the oval effect.
Put it this way. Imagine that your eye is the flashlight. Be the flashlight.
If the game always "draws a circle of light", that is because a flashlight always emits one. That's all I was saying
Um, have you ever used a flashlight? If the beam is originating from somewhere close to your eyes, it will appear as a circle on whatever you shine it on.
I have often wondered how much hardware John Carmack is solely responsible for selling.
I don't care how bloated Word or Outlook gets, nobody needs a 2.4 GHz machine to write a letter to Granny. Although it could be argued that these applications have bloated _because_ the game-driven advances in hardware allowed them to.
When a new id engine ships, nothing else is even close for months at least. They routinely raise the industry bar. And when other titles ship they're all basically just trying to keep up.
While Duke Nukem 3D was more fun than Doom or arguably Quake even, it never would have happened if not for Doom. If it weren't for id we'd all be bitching about how we need to upgrade to 486 machines to run Wing Commander XVII.
Mr. Carmack and 'id' are to be lauded for supporting Linux. The only reason I and most of you have licensed a copy of XP is to play games, and if the Doom 3 engine is well supported in Linux, you can forget about me Longhorn.
If Carmack can't get some major kickbacks from hardware vendors directly then the linux community should pitch in and setup a fund or something. Have a bake sale. I don't care how rich he is, pay the man!!! We want him writing code, not lauching himself into space.

I hope Lindstein is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
So help me Xenu
Oh man! So email can be sent to me at the.rapist@gmail.com or therapist@gmail.com?
That explains the spam I get at The.Pen.Is.Mightier@gmail.com" And the day is mine!

Duke himself could have written the game in this time. One handed, baby!
