If you used linux, you should not have a problem.  Video
card drivers 
would be your limiting point, I would suggest you use nvidia
because of it.

Well, to be fair, there are problems with linux games
on FreeBSD. But they are generally easily resolved.

*BSD is still a few years (months?) off from entering
the desktop (and gaming) market, but it will, and when
it does, all its strengths will shine. Commercially
speaking, if you want to see (preview) the future now,
learn FreeBSD, use it, love it.

Yesterday, I spent 4 hours playing UT2004. And it
seemed to run faster than on Windows. At least it
felt much cooler

Wow, it's cool to hear someone say that! I really hope it is
a serious
player in the desktop and especially gaming market soon.
Absolutely
the _only_ thing i use Windows for is computer games. In
every other
area of the desktop (server goes without saying) I've found
a better
tool for the job on FreeBSD. My main desktop now is my Sony
Vaio
running FreeBSD 5.4. Game developers need to start making
everything
for OpenGLout of the box.

Nice, it definitely would feel cooler! With all that in
mind, i might
focus on switching over the last dregs of Windows, and doing
my gaming
on FreeBSD. New project!

Not in the ports tree and not that I know of. I'm sure it's
not
a problem to run it. Copy protection will be an obstacle,
but
if you own the game you'll be fully justified in searching
for
a crack and cracking it.

I Remember I was on 5.3 and installed ut2004 successfully
from dvd. worked
and ran extremely fast. There was some howto on the web for
doing it but I
can't find it on google anymore.
