AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4

[Scorbing]

You know if there is anything that ticks me off is downloading something without technical notes and/or instructions. AMD has this utility on their web site but they do not specify what OS is for.

Does anyone here have any idea if this is for XP, Vista or both?

They want the user to assume which is sad but I am using it on XP and Vista. Works fine.

It suppose to work upto latest os. as far as Bit wise(32 or 64) I dont know since both of my os's are 32s.

I've had mine installed since October of 2007. I had no idea there was a new one.

I installed on Vista and I assume it is working like it should.

So yes it will INSTALL on Vista. :)
