min specs for games in linux?

[pickarooney]

Where can I find accurate minimum specs for linux machines for games like Unreal Tournament and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I have Windows versions of them, and I think I understand it's just a case of downloading a patch and installing from the CD to get them to work under Linux?

There are usually specs printed in the Linux FAQs, but, as a general rule, if you can run it under Windows, then the same hardware will run it under Linux.

RtCW Linux FAQ (http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/wolf/)

UT Linux FAQ (http://faqs.lokigames.com/utfaq.html)

You didn't say which version of UT you were after, but there are good instructions on line for installing each of the - Google will help you here.....

Thanks very much, Mr. Ben. It looks like my machine should be able to run them at a decent speed :)
