Gaming in Linux part 3 - with Cedega

Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 bit 2.5Ghz
1 gig of ram
ATI Radeon 9800xt
19in. LCD
1280x1024 resolution

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10
and
Cedega 6.0.2


first video:

Need for Speed Carbon (NFSC)
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (GTASA)

second video:

Flatout 2 (FO2)
Call of Duty United Offensive (CoDUO)


Third video:

Extra Call of Duty United Offensive online footage.

I have the drivers for my graphics card, something that must be done for this to work. If you're unsure of how to install your drivers, or have any other questions, go to www(dot)ubuntucorner(dot)freeforums(dot)org

I wanted to use the camera to show you how the game play works, cause the screen recorder makes it lagy, and I can't capture sound.

Is cedega really much better than wine? I don't mind a bit of tweaking to get the game work properly. I'm basically looking for pure performance.

I usually play games like Warcraft 3 (probably doesn't need cedega because of it's opengl support) Starcraft and soon (well...) Starcraft 2 and sometimes GTA, which is.. crap with wine.

I'm not sure, this might be using DirectX8.... I can't be sure though, it was a long time ago; it very well may have been using opengl.

As for Cedega, it pretty much like WINE, only it could be falling behind in development. Stick with WINE, they're based off the same code anyway.

whats everyones favourite weapon? i adore the rpg personally. it is simple for you to eradicate nearly everybody by using it! my roomie calls me the noobie for using the gun but who cares. i'm somewhat new i guess! but at least i didnt need to pay for the game. i downloaded it without charge at mw2forfreeZinfo (replace Z with . ) yesterday

COD4 works great. But there is no punkbuster support.
