quite fast, but with wine it took ages to load
also another thing, on wine i downlaoded steam and that logs me in but if i try
to go to the store on it, it closes

You should stick to one problem per thread, and you haven't posted  enough
information  to help you with either. Let's start with the basics: what
version of Wine, what graphics card and driver?  If you're not using the
latest development release of Wine, upgrade.

Steam has a very detailed howto in the AppDB. Have you read it and followed all
the steps?
