Wine will most definately not run to latest and greatest when in regards to gaming. Look on the wine app db to see ratings of your most favourite games and you'll see most games are plagued with problems that take away all the effort behind making something a great experience. You can play starcraft though (first version) but the battlenet stuff is rather sketchy. You'll find some artifact with nearly every wine game you run. And also, even though it's claimed that at times wine is even faster than the game running on windows, those or just special case items. Genrally you'll find quite a bit of loss when it comes to performance. Look at the latest and greatest on the app db... hell go 2 year old just for fun, read what the existing problems are and considder the impact it has to the enjoyment of the game. Some people dont mind exiting the game at the final cutscene, google how to fix the strange graphics issues they suddenly have, run a couple of commands here and there to tweek it and try again. You'll find these are the guys that believe linux is the solution to world peace 
(which seems to be the case according to news these days)
And Cedega comes along with allot of those including performance.
Ey, it's not perfect but at times it can work. Just pull through, and work hard, and when you come back from work, work hard again to get that game running. And then the next day when you get back from work, play it... untill you run into your next problem... rince repeat.
I'd like to install ubuntu, but ubuntu felt that since my first and second hard drive is of same size/type, that it must be running in raid mode
So now I have to set a day aside to solve that problem. The day after that I can look into other problems, like graphics support issues and sound and what not. It's just so much fun. And getting 3 monitors running is going to be a toughie... it doesnt work, and I doubt that has changed since 2 years ago, as nvidia said it's not on their priority list (obviously not ubuntu's fault... but it works on windows 
)
I believe it's usual for this and follow up responses to be sent to /dev/null?
Oh and this was posted to a forum hosted on linux, router running linux, isp run on linux and all the other little fancy devices that makes the interweb possible. But, it would not have been possible without the help of windows ;-) (ok it wouldve, I couldve just used my phone... no wait it runs wm [yes android is better but it chews the battery of the tytn2 like a chappie]). And yes, I'm spending some good time to try to solve the android problem. No worries oneday I'll win. It's one of the nice things about opensauce, youre not as limited to fixing it.
Ofcourse... sometime this will all reach boiling point.
Man I hate computers Or do they hate me?
PS: I do not think linux sucks, I enjoy it... it's just... real people use FreeBSD (oh ja... when I tried installing 8.0 it wouldnt pick up my fancy usb keyboard, so had to pull an old usb one from the closet... but I dont want to have 2 keyboards on my desk all the time... but I'll solve that problem, even though google has not been great so far at solving that issue... but I'm sure I'm not alone)
Have I mentioned that I run windows 7 without a hitch and everything is perfect? Except that I wanna try this SLI stuff now... so $$$
(oh and.. I know virus trojan... blah blah... I'm lucky enough to be a walking antivirus... I mean have you used norton's stuff lately? OMW that's stuff would drive me mad enough to make me move to linux)
Happy thoughts people... happy thoughts.
