As far as the download of the program goes I checked "open" instead of "save to disk". I did a file search and all I found was a cookie Placed in C:// windows/profiles

It did identify my motherboard and bios.................I thought it was a neat/quick little tool.

"Cookie" eh? So, even though its in C://windows/profiles, either "Window Washer" or "AdAware" should remove it ok then?

Cookie? Good cookie or bad cookie.....? Sorry 'bout that...

The thing that I find nice about this, is that the Graphics card is identified, at least in mine.......people seem to have difficult times figuring this out without pulling the computer apart......so.....anyway......here's my response from them:

Thanks for sending information about your system to us for CPU upgrade advice.

Based on the details, I'd recommend our new PL-iP3/T upgrade, which will currently take your system's CPU up to 1.4 GHz, using an Intel "Tualatin" Celeron with 256K of L2 cache. For more information on this product, please see http://www.powerleap.com/Products/iP3T.htm.
