After a quick google search, it looks like the Wii is roughly twice as powerful as the Gamecube in most respects:
Gamecube processor and Wii processor are based on the same IBM architecture, Wii runs at 729Mhz, Gamecube 485Mhz
Wii GPU runs at 243Mhz, Gamecube 162Mhz
Wii RAM is 88MB, Gamecube is 40MB

I'll be honest, I don't know much about the technology. I was just reviewing what another member said about black levels.
Thank you for the link my friend! I will check it out and get some more research under my belt.
I'd love to get a TV for my girlfriend and I that is sub $1000 and 37" or more.
I got bills and more bills... so I shouldn't even be entertaining this thought, but the Wii would look SO nice on a flat panel TV hanging on the wall.
Thanks again!
On another subject---
Has anyone heard ANYTHING about a headset/mic for the Wii to use when the multiplayer games go online in 2007??!?

I'd say just wait and give it a year. For the first year the DS was full of tech demos that just forced stylus play for the hell of it (i.e. crap like Yoshi Touch and Go) and I'm sure we'll see a lot of Wii games that over use the controller.
Hopefully in a year we'll get more games like Zelda, where you can play with just flicks of the wrist and so on.
At any rate, waiting will give you a chance to try out some better games. I wouldn't judge it buy Excite Truck which has always looked lame to me.

Wonder if that system is still used.
