just a bit of personal experience: flash works beter using nspluginwrapper in 64bit mode because when it hangs - it's a simple as shooting it's wrapper process and not the entire FF. oh, and for whatever reason wine performs better under 64 bit OS rather than 32. Don't have any other proof then my own experience but Diablo LOD runs much smoother once I've rebuilt my system with 64bit with the same useflags and everything else. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245
