The newest wine-1.0 can run the windows version of sketchup-6 on nvidia video 
cards using the nvidia binary blob drivers.  I have not been able to make it 
work on my older ATI 9200SE card, the screens workspace isn't drawn, and 
generally contains random data stolen from other screens.  Apparently it 
needs some sort of 3d support that is not in the current radeon driver for 
RV280 chipsets.

I ordered an X1650 Pro, but it arrived defective yesterday, my box won't even 
post when its plugged in. :(
