Today we are happy to announce that we have pre-released V5.2 of BurnInTest Professional (32-bit Windows).
V5.2 is the first version of BurnInTest to officially provide support for Windows Vista. If you are using BurnInTest on Vista, it is recommended that you move to V5.2 of BurnInTest.
V5.2 of BurnInTest also includes a number of other benefits such as:
- Increased the number of disks that can be tested from 20 to 26.
- The Block size used in the disk test is now configurable (and per disk). The default block size has been increased from 16KB to 32KB.
- Disk test settings can be configured for "Automatically Select all Hard Disks", rather than using defaults.
- An option has been added to automatically detect all of the CD and DVD drives for the CD test (as per the disk test). This may be useful when testing across many systems with different optical drive configurations.
- When running the CD test under BartPE (Pre-install environment) some specific files are now skipped as they are unavailable for testing.
- BurnInTest has been updated to reflect that Temperature monitoring with Intel Desktop utilities is supported. Intel Desktop utilities essentially is a replacement for Intel Active Monitor for newer Intel motherboards.
- Replaced the Help system with Browser based help.
V5.2.1004 of BurnInTest Professional (32-bit) can be downloaded from:
http://www.passmark.com/ftp/bitpro521004.exe
Valid V5.0 or V5.1 licenses will continue to work with V5.2 of BurnInTest.
The other flavors of BurnInTest (Standard, Zip, and 64-bit) are planned in the coming days.
Best regards,
Ian (PassMark)
