I see a posting from Vince Weaver back in June that says for Nehalem-EX you need to check out the latest libpfm3 from CVS and build that, rather than using the released version. I'm not certain of that, though, because I thought there had been a final release of libpfm3 since then. In any case, it wouldn't hurt to give that a shot. - Corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
