Hi Albert,

you can be sure that versions using 1 or 2 CPU will always be kept separately.
For 32-bit and 64-bit I am giving separate ratings as long as there is a
considerable difference in performance and when my tests give no speed increase
or only a bit more speed (less than 10%).

Best Regards
Heinz
