pair of virtual CPUs into a PC the size of a toaster, and you're beginning

So the question is: is this new XPC ready to challenge the Standard Beige
Mini-Tower Case for supremacy in the enthusiast's heart? We stuffed a Radeon
9700, a half gig of Corsair memory, and a Pentium 4 2.8GHz in this box to
