the responses to this thread are absolutely rediculous....

of course Linux can run all Windows games (except DX10 ONLY games which can't be run on XP anyway)

its called WinE...hello...

I run slackware on my gaming rig and I can run many DX 9 games very decently...

All is wrong. Wine works in some cases, but often costs performance, and a lot of games have bugs.

As to your resolution and WINE problems, well, for one, it depends on the game, WINE is not, and can not be, perfect, but beyond that, did you install the nvidia drivers? If not, you can do so via the restricted driver manager. Once that is done, use nvidia-settings to configure your resolution, and hit save to xorg.conf. It'll work fine after that. X-Fis apparently can work, but They don't have official support, so you can't expect too much.
X-Fi's (my particular chipset since there's more then one) Can not work with anything but OCC. I had nvidia drivers installed and regardless of which game I tried to play (even sim tower) the game always ran slow. In regards to the hard drive crashing - I would be using a hard drive and it would just vanish from my system. It would deny me access, then unmount itself and corrupt the hard drive.

The hard drive thing is really, really odd. I've never heard of anything like it.

I tried Ubuntu, and love it. But I always found myself switching back and forth to XP, which is a huge pain in my rear. Now I have Vista, and it does everything I want to do. I see no reason to add time swiitching back and forthe again.

And Wine does not work for mosy big games. The performance is a huge issue.

Not technically true regarding the X-fi. It is possible to get tham working with Alsa but it's a pain in the arse and stopped working every time something Kernel/glib/klib releated got updated.

That hard drive problem sounds very strange.

Same here, I'm not going to bother with dual booting for the desktop. I see no point.

The laptop on the other hand is too slow for gaming and XP is sluggish on it, so Linux is perfect. No dual booting either - no games, no point in Windows.
