Thats practically an understatement at this point

Check out wine/winex and the OS forum, we have a nice FAQ thread where this kind of thing isnt in the wrong forum.

Depend on what games, but most won't.

And, forget Wine because it suck, because not only it make your P4 3ghz feel like a celleron 500mhz and it is unstable (I'm exagerating but in the early days Wine were 1/3 to 1/4 speed when running navtive WinApps).
