window games on linux

[thadon]

i was thinking about installing some linux , but was concerned with not being able to play my PC games! i play warcraft 3, CS and some other games. how do i go about playing those in linux?

Pay $15 for a three month WineX subscription. Both War3 and CS work quite well.

Its nice to have your games supported

so how well will it run in comparison to say... windows xp pro?

You'd have to look up those particular games' forums at the website - different games compare to Windows versions in different ways. Make sure your hardware is compatible while you're at it.

First up, they usually run best on a nvidia card. Atleast this was the when I checked winex out. Second, in earlier vesions of winex the frame rate was limited to 50fps by some odd bug or another. If thats ok, and your hardware is compatible, then you're good to go
