    Is this for memory in your system, or memory on the video card?

    Wow, nice program.

    I saw them discussing 'flashing dimms' over in XS, but i didn't really follow, but this is just cool!

    Thanks

    As dangerous as any program. You just gotta know how to use it or be wlling to accept that you might damage hardware during learning.
