We do know that SWTOR will have dx9 option, so it should work in wine. But if any games goes dx10/11 only, then AT this time it wouldn't work in wine. Also, you have to think about DRM and other things that Wine doesn't play well with sometimes. I'm just saying you should think about these things before dropping windows 100% (esp since that laptop will come with Win pre loaded, just dual boot). I just put together a desktop (first Time in 6 years I haven't bought a new laptop every 2 years) and put win 7 on it for gaming. I still have linux on 5 other machines in my house. I still play WoW on my linux laptop. Anyways, just saying. -- Sincerely, MacNean C. Tyrrell
