Hi,

I'm a linux newbie here..  just downloaded the Wine pacakge for Ubuntu and 
I'm surprised at the number of Windows apps that are functional under Wine. 
However, the performace is a bit lacking, especially in games though still 
acceptable.  (I'm getting maybe 75% the framerate I'm used to.)

I've noticed that the version of Wine I'm using for Ubuntu is specifically 
compiled for i386 systems;  I'm running an i686 kernel (on a 2.8Ghz Celeron) 
now and I'm wondering if I'll get better performance if I download the 
source and compile an i686 version of Wine myself?  Thanks.
