Hello

I would like to know whats better between Windows and Linux in gaming.
Ive used Linux on other PCs before, but havent had any personal exerience of how Linux really peforms (especially in games)

I dont know any of the Linux models, only know that RedHat is probably the newest and has a bunch of versions :p:

A lot of people have been telling me to change to Linux so I can enable 64-bit and because Linux is much more stable and faster than Windows. Is it worth it and does it really peform better than any other OS

What Linux version will run this tech?
64-bit
SSE3
SM 3.0
Dual cores or more

Will Linux work with these games that I usually play:
1) Half Life 2 & CSS
2) FarCry
3) UT2004
4) Halo for PC
5) F.E.A.R. MP Demo
6) A bit of AA too

Right now Im running Win XP Pro (32-bit) so Ive never played the FarCry 64-bit version. Would Linux run the 64-bit version?

Im more concerned about compatibility than anything else since there are thing like SM 3.0 that are from Microsoft and I dont know if Linux is able to run SM 3.0 or something simmilar.

Ive also seen a lot of people prefer Win 2k over XP. What are the advantages?

Finally, what is the best between these OS?
Win 2k
Win XP Pro (32-bit)
Win XP Pro (64-bit)
Windows Longhorn

Linux RedHat (what are the best)
And any other Linux that you may think is good
and if there is a good Free and Retail version,
which one is worth getting?
