I haven't but I'm not sure it's worth the effort in my case. I'm not a gamer. I bought a subscription to Cedega last Christmas when I built a machine for my son but I had never used it myself. My kid started complaining that his games weren't working correctly so I Was digging in to see what I could do with it but none of my adapters had 3D working as it wasn't important to me. (I do recording studio stuff - Ardour, soft synths, and Wine to run a few Windows audio apps, etc.) Anyway, with this $49 NVidia card I can now run Half Life pretty nicely. Point2Play has an FPS counter. In HL I'm getting a pretty consistent 72FPS. That's more than enough for my needs. Anything more is likely to get broken as I forget what I've done!
