[plug] cedega ?

[Shannon Carver]

Hi Tim, 

This was on a P4 2.8Ghz with newish NVIDIA video card, level load time was
significantly slower under Cedega.  I haven't tried it on my new laptop as
yet (core duo 2.06Ghz) with Nvidia Quadro NVS 120, but it runs sweet in
WinXP, even relatively well at 1920x1200.. Mmmmm
