new windows version out (it's not final yet, still testing)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/52fdhw2c3ny81ti/ptsminer_v07a_x64_bundle_new.zip
now containing several binaries: generic (amd / intel), sse4 and avx

Found a minor bug(or maybe just a documentation issue) with the new win64 binaries you provided. Specifically, the SSE4 binary.
If you just specify cores and ram (and not the instruction set), the SSE binary ignores the memory setting. For example:
ptsminer_sse4.exe %walletaddress% 4 = 4core, 512MB a core
ptsminer_sse4.exe %walletaddress% 4 28 = still does 4cores, 512MB a core
ptsminer_sse4.exe %walletaddress% 4 28 sse4 = 4 cores, 1024MB a core
The AVX binary seems to work fine with just cores and ram settings in my testing. I haven't noticed anything with the intel binary, since in my testing I was using the sph switch already.
This was tested on mainly non-AVX machines running Win7 x64 Ultimate/Pro, Server 2008R2, and 1 Server 2003x64 box.
Proc wise, here are the non-avx ones: 2 C2Q Q6600(SSE3), 1 C2Q Q9550, 1 C2E X7900(SSE3), 2 Xeon DP 5150's(SSE3), and 4 Xeon DP X5365's.
All of the above seem to exhibit the same issue, not a major deal, by any stretch. Note: I only tested using 26/27/28 memory settings and thread values of 2,3,4,6,8.
Side note: Interestingly enough, i do get decent gains using the sse4 binary over intel/sph on the SSE3 based procs. It doesn't seem to be as significant as the gains on the SSE4.1 based procs, but that may just be other factors such as less memory bandwidth, older chipset, etc.
Thanks again!
