IMO everyone running wow in wine shoudl use the opengl flag.  Without it,
wine is converting the directx commands to opengl, creates extra layer of
stuff, that can cause issues.  I used to crash randomly without the opengl
flag.

Yea I hear the ati drivers are btter now then they ever have been for linux,
but I still buy machines with nvidia inside just because of linux support.
 So sometimes the wine/graphic issues are related more towards Intel first,
ATI second, then nvidia (ie more problems in that order).
