[gentoo-user] Recommendation for CPU type in QEMU?

2013-07-31 Thread Walter Dnes
I'm looking at setting up 32-bit WINE to run a 32-bit Windows app. Since I'm on a pure 64-bit (no multi-lib) machine, that doesn't exactly work, which is why I'm looking at QEMU. I need to run WINE in 32 bit mode, on a 32-bit install in a VM. Is a 64-bit virtual cpu type recommended anyways?
