wine users - Oct 2010 - World of Warcraft on Linux Mint or Ubuntu, a doubt

Hi everyone
I used to have Linux Mint 8 Helena and World of Warcraft patch 3.2.x, like less
than a year ago
I play on private servers (just because there's no way of payment for
blizzard servers from Peru), and i had a bad experience with wine 1.0 (or
1.1.33, i can't remember - the thing is that wine 1.2 wasn't released)
My FPS were like 19-20 when in windows it goes at 60-65, in Dalaran or Northrend
went down to 10-8, whic made me go back to windows


I have a question before trying Linux and Wine Again (with the latest wine
version)

I'm Interested in Linux Mint, and i'm planing to start when LM 10
"Julia" releases on november
My Video card is ATI Radeon 4200 HD 700mb
and the server where i play is at patch 3.3.5 and will be for a long time
So, my question is
Now, with a newer Wine version (which rates as platinum patch 3.3.5) and a new
Linux Mint distribution (Based on Maverick Veerkat)
will my World of Warcraft game, run better than what i told you?, at least a lot
more FPS while doing some PVP?
Thanks a lot for your answers and my apologies for my bad english

wine-1.3.6 does have a few improvements, but is still likely to
be slower than windows when playing wow.

See various FPS tips at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17421

If you want a better overall experience (speed, less bugs and so on), your best
bet is to replace your ATI card with any nVidia card. The ATI drivers are horrid
all-around.
