   What are you using?  I tried Cedega (the newest version) and the performance    
   is not as good as it is on Windows.  I can definately tell the difference.    
   Are you using WINE, WINEX, Cedega?  Any hints on how to get started?  I am    
   interested in running it on Linux (as good as I can on Windows).   
      
   FWIW, I have AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 2 GB Corsair XMMS, GeForce6800 Ultra.  I    
   can run it fine in Windows XP SP/2 w/ all graphics turned up.  Average FPS    
   on Windows is 40-60 depending on city/out in the wild.  The same setup with    
   NVIDIA drivers in Ubuntu 6.10 32-bit I get average FPS of 20-40 unless I    
   turn down the "Terrain Detail" on Linux.  I have followed all of the    
   suggestions in Cedega and noticed the small differences in FPS as I changed    
   each of the things they recommended and I still can't get it to run as    
   smooth as I can on XP.
