    Question about Raspberry Pi

    Hey guys I have been looking at Raspberry Pi and I noticed it is a ARM processor but I have seen people post you can run x86 apps on it. So my question does anyone own one to know if this is true. Also if you can run x86 can you run wine on the OS to run win xp apps? I have checked high and low for this info and I can not find a single answer.

    Don't know if there are any x86 emulators built for it yet, but even if there are the processor really isn't fast enough to handle much.

    What exactly are you hoping to run on it?

    yah i saw it only has a 700mhz and only 256mb I was going to run this old XP app then i saw it required 1ghz. I could use Pi box for streaming media and turning my old DLP into a internet box but like you guys said it will be slow lol.
