3.0-161 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core i7 @ 2.67GHz nVidia GeForce 560 Ti Playable, minor slowdown in many places Blinity
3.0-776 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7 2670QM @ 2.2GHz nVidia GeForce GT540M Playable, has some minor slowdowns but mostly runs too fast unless audio is used for syncing however, looking at the sun will destroy framerate (can't specify a way to correct this, it differs from GFX card to GFX card).
