I have exactly that problem - motion sickness to the point of nausea, where I have to actually lay down - but only with CERTAIN ENGINES. No really. But after I got to playing the game daily for a couple of days, it disappeared.

I got motion-sick on: Doom; Quake2-engine games, including Half-Life; and a little with the Build-engine games like Duke and Blood.

I NEVER got motion-sick with an Unreal-engine game, nor with a Quake3-engine game. I personally think it's the way the scenery is moving past you that makes the difference, not speed, because I could speed up UnrealTournament to Turbo (double) speed and never get sick even after almost an hour of hectic deathmatch. Didn't matter whether it was the curved-screen 15" or the flat-screen 17" too.
