just a bit of personal experience: flash works beter using nspluginwrapper in |
| 14 |
64bit mode because when it hangs - it's a simple as shooting it's wrapper |

oh, and for whatever reason wine performs better under 64 bit OS rather than |
| 18 |
32. Don't have any other proof then my own experience but Diablo LOD runs |
| 19 |
much smoother once I've rebuilt my system with 64bit with the same useflags |
| 20 |
and everything else. |
