Story says cpu fan when intell socket can be seen on photo?.

Vm (blueyonder)

virgin are getting really bad i've had blueyonder broadband for 3years. Now the service is running at :-Date 14/05/07 16:35:18

Speed Up 357.46 Kbps ( 0.3 Mbps )

Port 8095

Server speedtest1.adslguide.org.uk

"Fastest

* Up to 10Mb

Rolling out up to 20Mb

* No download limits†

(unlike some of our competitors)

* Download a music track◊ in under 4 seconds "
