You *bought* a more than two years old distribution? The one who sold
you that is a cheater. Anyway, Wine and WineTools work good with RH9
also ;-)

Take the i386 one. Your processor seems to be outdated, too. Perhaps you
should stay with RH9 in that case. I am not sure whether Fedora Core 2
or 3 will work with reasonable speed with such a slow machine. You
should also consider not using KDE or Gnome on such a machine. Use
Fluxbox or something else with a small footprint. And don't expect too
much from Wine and Windows programs on your system. It will be slow.
