That should be renamed gpuburn. |

It's even prettier than the one in ATI Tray Tools. I am *so* adding it |
| 71 |
to my BartPE benchmarking disc. |
| 72 |
I'll get started on it in parallel with cpuburn after doing 100 rounds |
| 73 |
of memtest. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
The only question is that will cpuburn work in Vista without me having |
| 76 |
to reboot into Windows and compile it in VS 2008 ? |
