[dba-Tech] [dba-OT] Virtual PC

I love this statement:
Note: A CPU cooling fan is not included with this CPU. In order to safeguard
your warranty and achieve optimum performance we recommend purchasing a new
compatible cooling fan.

In other words, "if you haven't a clue as how to assemble a PC from scratch
it will only last about 30 seconds before overheating and being a pile of
scrap" ;o)
