For pure performance, make sure you have 2 gigs
of swap for every 8M of ram. That makes it real
fast. Then you should install winex and run
mozilla for windows under linux. Nice. Thats
all I got to say.

If I'd follow this advice I'd need a 256Gb swap partition .... yikes  :D

I think I'll keep it the way I have now with no swap partition  ;)

I have no personal experience with win4lin but have read many reviews.  I bought VMware which works extremely well (wouldn't run it on a slow machine with less than 256MB though).

Hey is VMare good for 3d gaming?

voidmain:
I could have sworn someone answered your exact question in one of the other threads, but if not: no

Not for the kinds of games you probably want to play.  Any non-directx and non-heavy video intensive games should work fine though.  But that's why I have a PS2.

VMware is more for "work" than for play.  I don't know of *any* productivity apps or *any* non-game MS app that will not work with it.
