FYI, it managed to break my audio. Use with caution.

Yes it can break your install. I had some trouble when I pressed the "autodetect CPU" or something like that to correctly show the CPU information in "About this Mac". The info it did put in there were some garbage like "processor_name" etc. But some other functions are very useful.
