When it comes to Linux, what are the limiting factors as to which games you can play? First things first, specs:
Intel Core2Duo e6750 @ 2.66gHz
Asus P5K-WiFi/AP (Might be getting replaced soon)
2gb Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (Might be upping to 4gb soon)
Corsair 520w PSU
320gb Seagate Barracuda (Probably install Linux on seperate drive)
I have read that you need to find drivers for you video card. Problem solved: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_173.14.09.html .
So that leads to my questions.
1) What are the limiting factors for gaming on Linux?
2) Are all games compatible on Linux? Or do only select games work?
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm thinking of possibly trying to move away from Windoze a little (Not altogether however) and this is one of the things stopping me.
