     WineX renamed itself sometime ago to Cedega due to legal reasons..   
      
     I've been able to get wow running within 5fps of several people winxp   
     config's I know of in the 40-60fps dependind on the area -- all the while   
     running substaintially better hardware -- you're unlikely to get the   
     same preformace of windows at this time -- but each has it's draw backs,   
     I'll take the small preformace hit to not bother with defraging,   
     viruses, spyware, malware, crashing, and actually having to buy a   
     licensed copy, reboots on updates etc..   
      
     Mysetup is very playable and the fps is at the point you really don't   
     notice it unless I have mythtv encoding a video stream and playing one   
     back at the same time on the other x session then it seems to slow the   
     fps down by 5-15fps, which is to be expected, I suspect if I had a   
     seperate hdd for mythtv the issue may become less noticable..
