Based on tech specs and not opinion, is the 3ds stronger than the Wii?

 you'd think with more RAM the 3DS could outdo the Wii in textures if it needed to.

The RAM difference is minimal. 

3DS - 128 MB with 32 MB dedicated to OS.   96 dedicated to gaming.

Wii - 91 MB dedicated to gaming.

Isn't some of the Wii's RAM dedicated to the OS as well? I mean, you can hit home and bring up the Wiimote menu at almost any time during gameplay.

I thought the Wii's OS features were handled by the arm7(9?) core?

It has dual ARM11's as processors, so no on the 9 or 7, you are thinking the DS.  The processor alone can't run the OS so yes a little RAM needs to be involved to make it work.
