You said that, I don't see it anywhere on the website :)
I don't take the claims of the 3rd party, I take the claims of the developer.

The point is that it appears to only be functional on a rather small range of hardware, it doesn't even make any difference on my
K6-2 300, which in all honesty SUCKS. Now it could work wonders for Intel equipment, my ONLY Intel box is somewhat of a science
project and doesn't have a hard drive. And yes, I know Durons don't go to 1200 standard, I just force mine too, and it does so
right well. It's only a 71% overclock. Now onto the claims. First, the onboard benchmark shows a 170% speed increase for my
computer, which I set to be a Duron 900 with a GeForce II MX and 128mb of RAM to keep it within range of sensibility. This, in all
seriousness appears to be BS. On their front page, they claim that Word takes a long time to load on their ficticious computer.
Microsoft Word 2000 takes exactly 1 second to go from button press to the blank document. This remains EXACTLY the same. Tribes 2
with the latest patch. Without Hare, I get 70FPS maxed details in 1280x1024x32. With Hare, I get 65FPS, apparently because it's
meddling in the 3d card and CPU cycles. I found similar events on my AMD K6-2 300 with a TNT2 Vanta LT and 128mb RAM. If you can't
make that perform better, I don't hold out much hope for any PCs. You could probably make a FORTUNE selling that to eMachines
though, 'cuz those are NOWHERE near the performance machines you're likely to find among most of us here. As soon as I get the time,
probably this weekend I'll take actual benchmarks with 3rd party programs. Also, whats up with telling you to reboot every 16 hours
or so (1000 minutes)? EVERY computer is capable of operating for much longer than 16 hours if all it's technical issues are
resolved. Of course, this program appears to be designed specifically for systems with extreme technical issues anyway. I do NOT
take a biased approach to testing software, it either works or it does not. I either prove or disprove claims and I can smell a lie
when it's stuck right under my nose.
