GPU Caps - Useful program for GPU info + stress testing

A new one for me. Added.

I also use this : Processor Spec Finder

Not a tool but information I find useful. In there you get the Min and MAX VID for your CPU.

John, correct link for CPU-Z is:

CPUID

It's up to version 1.49 now.

Added, and revised. Thanks to both.
