Hi Paul,
I have used 64-bit on a few machines now and the only issue I have found so
far is BBC iPlayer Desktop. There is a work-around that I have not pursued
yet.
I had a problem with Google Earth not working on one machine but that has to
be the on-board graphics I guess as others worked fine. The motherboard is
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H.
Regards,
Karl.

Hi Paul,
I had a problem with Skype, if you use that. I got it working in the
end, using a fairly painful work-round which involved installing 32-bit
libraries. This was a good 6 months ago, so it may not be an issue
anymore...
All the best,
Rod

tried the voice though.

In raw specifications the iPhone 3GS has a 600 mhz CPU, while the Wii
has a 729 mhz one. The iPhone has 256mb of RAM, while the Wii has 888mb.
I can't find anything that compares the GPU's (iPhone's GPU is MPolys/s
and the Wii's is 243mhz.)
