I'm currently running SuSe, and I'm actually, with a surprising measure of success, converting my Linux drive to my gaming drive. Cedega, with only the occasional (and inconsequential) glitch, actually runs my games faster and with more stability than XP. I definitely encourage at least trying SuSe on a secondary partition/drive. I will warn, however, SuSe does NOT play nice with SATA. To install it ("it" being SuSe 9.2) on my SATA drive I would have had to wipe all data off, which, needless to say, I was not cool with. I got a 9 gig secondary drive, which works well, but I also have problems booting into XP while the Linux drive is attached (another problem with SATA). I don't know if these problems have been fixed in more recent versions, but if you have SATA you may want to double check how newer versions of SuSe handle it first (or a different distro, depending on what you go with, if you go that route).

The upgrade! My machine will soon be a 939 X2 4000+, 4x512 DDR400, and an 8600GTS.
