 ; Summary:
 ;                             calculation of PR-rating for AMD AthlonXP;
 ;                             Amout of RAM (available and total)
 ;                             Highest input values for standard and extended calls
 ;        performed tests    - Performance test (RSA encoding)
 ;******************************************************************************
+;"To do" plans:
+; actual use of Brand ID for description of Intel's CPU, i.e. Celeron/Pentium separation;
+; remove support of Cyrix and early Centaur (IDT)  - they are too old, rare and non-standard;
+; Sempron detection - probably they supports Brand-ID;
+; update caches descriptors for intel Core 1/2
+; quantity of logical CPU/cores - requires APIC ID analysis
+; newest AMD/Intel codename detection

+;          (+)  fixed L2 cache size detection for VIA (they changed format from 8 bits to 16 bits several years ago);
+;          (+)  more macroses for Interface and Threads (from Menuett.inc written by /^S0rG^\, 2002), sources separated into several include files;
