WinRAR 3.60 Beta 3

Nachdem vor wenigen Wochen die erste Beta der nächsten WinRAR Version 3.60 veröffentlich wurde, ist nun seit kurzem die dritte Beta-Version verfügbar, bei der einige kleinere Probleme behoben wurden.

Mit der Version 3.60 bietet WinRAR erstmals eine Unterstützung für Dual-Core CPUs wie z.B. AMDs Athlon 64 X2.
