At least not something like 76fps on Windows and 30fps on FreeBSD (on FreeBSD I get about 5-7fps less then on Windows 70-80fps ). And I was also trying some games under gentoo (like UT) and again no big difference (my "gaming" comp is AMD 1.33Ghz/gf3ti500/768MB RAM). I think that in near future there will be less games for PC platform anyway. Take a look at game-selling statistics and you will recognize that developers have more money from games for consoles and many titles coming out exclusively only on some platforms (PS2 or Xbox) and it will get worst when PS3 and Xbox2 hit market. Well, we will see.
