Is it possible? I'm thinking of using wine/cedega, but is it also possible to run games on linux via VMware? |

VMWare can also accelerate D3D8, but I'm not sure how limiited this is.
I've seen it working though, it defiantely accelerates it. |

Compared with wine, which of the two has a better performance when running games? |
