Added support for 256 CPUs on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 systems.
- Moved almost all the SIV resources into a resource only DLL, SIVRES.dll, that is shared
by all the SIV executables. SIV can be run without SIVRES.dll and the only effect is
you don't get the logo images, etc..
- Added support for the Intel Core i9 (Gulftown), Core i5 (Clarkdale),
Xeon (Lynnfield) and Xeon MP (Beckton)
along with Pentium Dual-Core (Penryn) processors.
- Enhanced support for the Intel 3420 and P55 chipsets.
- Added support for AMD Opteron (Istanbul), (MagnyCours), Phenom II TWKR (Deneb),
AMD Sempron (Sargas) processors and eight processor AMD Opteron configurations.
Reworked the [MCH] page for all AMD64 based systems.
Improved the reporting of HyperTransport information.
- Changed to report on Windows Error Reporting (WER) rather than
Dr Watson on Windows Vista/2008 and later systems.
- Updated the [PCI Bus] page for improved reporting of the number of PCI buses
and improved speed of device name lookup to PCIDEVS.txt.
- Updated SIV to be aware of
Wine and to report the Wine and
Host System version number information.
Currently SIV has been mainly tested with Wine 1.1.29, but I would expect SIV to work with all recent
Wine releases. Once available Wine 1.1.30 is recommended as there are a number of fixes SIV benefits from.
Some of the SIV pages do not work due to Wine not supporting the full Windows API,
when this happens SIV will report the API routine and the error code.
- Renamed the [Busy CPUs] page to
[Test APIC],
enhanced the worker thread code to
check that the APIC of the CPU they are running on is as expected and the control thread to
display the APIC test rates and incorrect APIC counts. Initially the tests are set to run
without changing CPU ([Same CPU] mode). The check boxes or [Swap CPU] button can be used
to tell the worker threads to switch between different CPUs ([Swap CPU] Mode).
- Enhanced the [View Menus] page to have a search/highlight facility.
- Correct the operation of 32-bit SIV on 64-bit systems to have the driver in
%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\ rather than %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\Drivers\.
- Added the System [File Cache] page
and resolved a number of issues with Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 System File Cache reporting.
- Added the [Font Families] page
which shows all the installed Font Families and the Character Sets they support.
- Added the [Graphics] page
which shows all display modes for all installed Graphics Cards.
- Enhanced [Machine] to report Onboard Devices Extended Information.
