Jon's review on the front page. Now this is how a review ought to be! Excellent work on breaking down the mistakes in rail distribution. I know...nuts and bolts stuff, but this is going to help the end user immensely! :D

Holy freaking hell P-Tuner batman! This software seems to be a super ultra memory hog! Does the mem usage increase with time? This would imply memory leaks galore...

Are those heatsinks really copper or is it just copper coated/electroplated? The secondary side looks a bit cramped, do you think it gets enough air?

Thanks guys.

Not sure if the heatsinks really are copper. They sure look copper. Can't realy do a magnet test, you know. ;)

Ha!! Good to see Jonny got the same results as I did!

Great review Jonny!! And yes, the Ptuner is a total whore for memory.

What is it with stuff hogging memory lately. Vista is already a memory whore. I guess it's time to start putting 4 GB in systems now...

I think it is just a memory leak in the program. IMO, they will have to release a patch to plug the hole.

Those heatsinks look like copper-coloured aluminum...

How so, how can you tell my looking? A dead givaway would be by weight, of course...
