Okay. I need to get my game on, but I refuse to boot into Windows. EVER. I want to install Half-Life, then Counter-Strike, then some sweet Natural Selection. Now, I have some doubts about my setup. I am running Slackware 9 on an K6-2 400 with 128 MB ram. I have a TNT2 with 32 MB ram. I know that I can not run Unreal Tournament, it just chokes and dies =( ..
I need some recommendations. Is there a way that I don't have to use wine/wine x to to run HL/CS/NS? Is my hardware good enough? Do I get to recompile my entire system from source just to play a game?

Also, how can I pump some more speed out of my system? I have recompile the kernel with the architecture set to k6.. What else can I do?

Thanks in advance

Well, Id say your system isn't gonna be very good for playing Halflife/CS through wine. Generally, your system should be 1.5x as powerful as you were using w/ native speed.

Theres not much you can do. Slackware comes pretty stripped down. Remove any uncessary startup services, kernel modules,etc.

I guess I am just going to have to use Dads P3 for games.. With Windows. Ugh. lol. I can't wait til I get my new machine..
Anyway, can someone explain prelinking and what it can do for me?

I've managed to play some starcraft on my laptop running crossover plugin and winex, runs dandy minus not having the sound ;-)

Well, I got my game on! I said the heck with new games, Unreal Tournament is the way to go! I overclock my tnt2 whenever I play it to 160Mhz core and 175Mhz memory. went from 290FPS in glxgears to 360 FPS. I enabled hardware acceleration of the RENDER extension as well. UT finally works nice I am very pleased with myself.
