<div id="yiv137106799">The everything being 32-bit is kind of a fail and annoying, but at least it's a start. You may also need the newest proprietary graphics card drivers for your card. I know Valve worked hand in hand with ATI/Nvidia to really improve their Linux drivers. With NVidia, I think I heard that they doubled the performance in the newest release (310), so that they are actually <b>better</b> than their Windows counterpart now.<div class="yiv137106799gmail_extra">

</div>I tried it on Arch64. It first failed because I needed the 32bit OpenGL<br>
stuff. That was an easy fix. It now fails for a different reason, I<br>
don't remember. I tried playing the free game they're pushing with this<br>
beta, and it started to load and then just bailed.<br>
<br>
I'll post more later.<br>
