1. Notes
--------

Run "RUN ME FIRST.bat" to avoid possible errors!

This program requires the VB5 runtime module. If you don't have these files, you can get them from http://download.com.com/3000-2070-5531236.html?tag=lst-0-1.

If you are installing from a zip file and get the error "System Error", you may need to copy superknob.ocx to c:\windows\system32 then register it using the following shell command:
regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\superknob.ocx"
This should solve the problem.

Once you have run "RUN ME FIRST.bat", you can place the exe anywhere you wish.







2900+ calculates to 2800+

This is a "fault" of AMD's, and not of the application. For some reason they decided to use 2800+ speeds for their 2900+.







Incorrect "crazy" readings in MINI version

This has been observed for users of some European Windows regional settings. You can use the command line "minieur" to remove this problem.

3. FAQ
------


Q. Why should I use this tool when there are plenty of others out there?
A. I dunno... because you love me? It's either that, or because this tool has everything you might need in one place.

Q. Your GUI is ugly and cluttered. I really hate it. I want a cleaner one!
A. Each to his own. Just click the "MINI" button in red at the top right for instant tidy-age. Alternatively you can start the program with the command paramater "mini" to bypass the "ugly" GUI.

Q. Where can I get the source code for your program?
A. You can't. The other party working on the project with me wishes that our work stays just between us, but is presented in a form that is good for the community. Or something. Sorry.

Q. Why haven't you supported <insert obscure 600MHz Slot A Athlon stepping code> in your tool?
A. Because nobody uses it. Of course, if I get requests for a certain processor that changes.

Q. I have a great idea for a feature/improvement/addon!
A. That's not a question. But still, feel free to shove them my way and I'll greet them with open arms. Check the Contact section.

Q. Should I contact nForcersHQ.com for support?
A. Absolutely not! You could always ask at their forums, but nForcersHQ.com are not fielding questions about my tool. Please check the Contact section.

Q. I'm all out of questions now.
A. Then get finding your PR/stock improvement/manufacture date/something!
