Now the marketing on the Transgaming website would have you believe that many games will run flawlessly. And they are not entirely wrong. Each version of [WineX]/[Cedega] did get better and better and "support" more titles. But the games I ran were never "perfect" or flawless. There was always some 'tweaking' to be done. Some were very good, like Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3, but they still had non-fatal but annoying glitches or reduced performance. Some [Cedega] users report complete "Windows like" success when running games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike. The product has received many good reviews. But be aware that your mileage may vary.
Other caveates are that [Cedega] only really supports nVidia graphics cards for 3D games. Forget about using DRI/Mesa 3D drivers. ATI binary driver support is also patchy.
-So like I said, if you
time is money then you're better off maintaining a "Wintendo" partition or if you want to save yourself lots
of cash, frustration and not maintain
an expensive
nVidia GPU habit, get a console. And when
you tire of your games you can always modchip the console, install [Linux] on it and use it as a media centre.
