I'm not convinced the GPU glitches have anything to do with WiiConnect24. The GPU on my Wii (early build bought Thanksgiving weekend) had the problem, but it was only noticeable when playing more graphically intense games. I'm not even convinced the issues were due to overheating at all, as they would turn up immediately on starting into a game with any 3-D scene with a layer of fog or dust in the foreground. No issues on Wario Ware or Cooking Mama, but they did show up in Twilight Princess and Godfather. Sent mine in, was exchanged for a new unit, no sparkling pixels on this one at all with WiiConnect24 enabled for two months now. (Nintendo's repair facility copied all my configuration and save data over, but I had to redownload the firmware updates and VC games.)
