List of known issues with the beta
- Doesn't correctly ID dual processor systems.
 - AMD processors are incorrectly shown as "not meeting the system requirements", because their physical frequency is lower then their actual performance. --Koraktor
 - Doesn't correctly report memory on systems with more than 2GB of RAM.
 - Newest versions of ATI video drivers are incorrectly reported as out of date.
 - Does not detect any background processes.
Seems to be resolved. Shows Apache webserver for me. --Koraktor - Wrong modules are detected. A component of the audio player foobar2000 called foo_common.dll is detected as WebSearch toolbar (common.dll). --Koraktor
 - Steam becomes inaccessible during the scan, so a Cancel button is futile. --Alph Tech STUART 07:41, 4 Jun 2006 (PDT)
