It is really good to see this game runs on more than just Windows. Given that Vista is catching on much slower than M$ had expected, the game designers are having to rethink code design since DirectX 10 is Vista only. Some big upcoming game titles such as UT2k7 are banking on DirectX 10 if you want full glitter and flash from the engine, but most gamers are not rushing out to get an OS that is mostly just a GUI upgrade at this time. Hopefully more game makers will start to look towards linux for full game support rather than just as a good game server.

Try Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142, those games do get a definite boost from the 64 bit architecture even though they are 32 bit games.
