I've been running with the nVidia drivers since January, dual-headed
I might add. I now own just about every Loki game, as well as a
number of OSS ones. Linux is the _superior_ platform for gaming for
3 reasons:
1. Unified 3D API, OpenGL, that is superior to DirectX (long
story)
2. Excellent LokiUpdater/Uninstaller utilities (Windows game take
note)
3. Per-user configuration (no more fighting keybindings with
wifey)

Also be sure to hit your local EB and/or goto EBWorld.COM (search
for Linux) to pick up a number of older Linux games from Loki (like
Quake III). For newer games, go directly to LokiGames.COM and help
support them in this razor-thin margins market.
