wine on Intel Xeon processor

[Ananth M]

Hi
    Thank you
    Our processor is a 64 bit processor.
    I need to check for the Dual Core or not ?

    BTW, if possible , can you please send the URL for the other thread that
gives the information about the slower performance in Dual Core machine

     Right now, I have RHEL 4.0 in all Xeon processors. I need to install
Windows OS on it , to verify for any issues with RHEL with wine on Xeon
processor. I will try to that in this weekend

Thank you
Regards
Ajay
