    I got a BSOD too...I uninstalled it immediately after. Where does it say it should work? I don't see that anywhere on their site or else.

    I'll wait until they officially say they support it.

    was reading the FAQ, something about it running on the beta so I "guessed" it would've worked. But nope. Actually all I use it for it dynamicly seeing my Mhz. if you know of a small program that will do it "live" I would like to know...

    do a google search just to confirm...but I came across something that said to delete the APCI (or ACPI...I forget) folder...and it shouldn't BSOD anymore.

    CPU-Z works perfectly for this...it's incredibly small and will show live mhz.
