Really? I was playing StarCraft II earlier tonight. Wine is quite adept at many games now. I wouldn't consider myself a PC gamer, but I did build this system with 2x 7800 GTX, overclocked, in SLI mode back in 2005. I simply don't buy games that wine won't run, or I buy them for my Wii, XBoX 360, or PS3. I would upgrade the video card(s), but I'm waiting for (a) the radeonhd driver and kernel to perform better than my non-free nvidia stuff and (b) a tiny bit more flexibility cash flow. I figure if I can get good performance out of the radeonhd stuff, why use non- Free Software? I also figure that if I buy a card and can't get radeonhd to perform well with the rest of my system, moving to proprietary ATI/AMD stuff is "just" a step sideways from the NVidia stuff, and ATI/AMD is being the better citizen in the Free Software arena. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
