I used to play Neverwinter Nights back when that was popular, and it 
actually ran *better* under WINE than on native Windows.  I had two 
identical Dell C640 laptops, one with Windows, one with Linux (RedHat 9, 
IIRC, so not even something recent - well, recent then, but you know what 
I mean).  The Linux one consistently outperformed the Windows one.
