how to get started with gaming?

[dlsn]

I'm a linux newbie and just installed ubuntu, and with some help managed to get quakeworld working.. BUT.. it runs windowed? and at roughly umm.. 2fps ?... what do i need to get on track and gaming ? :)

Finally, you need to be sure your system specs support 3d gaming.

my specs can handle 3D games, I installed the nvidia drivers, rebooted.. now I have a new problem ! :(
