No reason why you shouldn't be ale to. Just remember that wine is an (not) an emulator and only a limited number of windows apps will work correctly under wine.

If you have ubuntu running on it, why not. It'll run. The only real problem you might have is it being a bit slow. But much depends on your memory (RAM+swap) and how much of it is used up by other processes.
