Just wanted to say that using the "Large Address Aware" trick, I was able to run Skyrim on Ultra specs.
wine 1.3.33
x32_64
Linux Mint Debian Edition
Nvidia GTX 570
Nvidia drivers 280.13
Before applying this trick, I had to run it on High Specs but it would ocassionally freeze on quicksaving and lag while after entering new areas. It still does this a bit (the lag thing) but it scarcely bothers me anymore.

Thank you very much for posting this. I was experiencing the same problems as described everywhere around... with shadow settings higher than "low" or any kind of water reflection settings, after some time the terminal got spammed with out of memory GL messages. Even when running Skyrim on low-to-medium details, the FPS was pretty low (see my pc info below).
With your tweak, setting everything on "High", adding 4xFSAA, 4xAF and all water reflections, the FPS is _noticably_ higher than before, and no errors either.
Thanks a lot once again!
my spec:
MSI GTX460 Hawk
Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3700
8GB ram
gentoo x64, nvidia drivers 290.06, kernel 2.8.39

So I did contact the author of the 4GB Skyrim mod --> www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013#content --and she is aware that there is an issue running it under wine. She is as yet not sure what the cause is so for now we'll just have to keep going 'other routes' to keep the game working. BTW there is already a RELOADED version of the Skyrim 1.3 patch that I can say works quite well, but it of course still bypasses Steam so achievements are out--if you care for such things, which I personally don't :-)
