Changes in version V6.1.Build 1008 (22/Aug/2007)
* Corrected a software failure bug on startup on a few systems where the system OEM had not populated Baseboard information.
* Corrected a software failure bug on startup (particularly Vista) where a DirectX function was causing software failures in "dsetup.dll".
* In some cases where the system OEM has not populated Baseboard information, the display in the Baseline information window could be gibberish. This has been corrected.
* The Fixed block size in the Advanced Network test is now used rather than the maximum block size.
* The Intel Core 2 Quad has been added to the search function for downloading Baselines from the Web.
* Quad core L2 cache now detected.
* Included an option to skip the DirectX warning message on startup, either by specifying the existing command line parameter of "/i" or by selecting "No" to the DirectX warning the first time it is displayed.
* Included a Vista specific warning message for Vista DirectX10 to help avoid confusion over the DirectX9.0c requirement for PerformanceTest.
* In very very rare cases, the CPU clock speed could be measured and the result a clearly ridiculous value. This has been corrected.
* Minor correction to the HTML export to better handle errors opening the output file.
* The filename displayed in the error message when the exported text report file can not be opened has been corrected.
