    Nope, that card & CPU are much to powerful for your rig. They're liable to blow up, fry your machine, destroy the town you live in, and force you to travel back in time to repair the situation.

    Send them to me courtesy of the Org. post haste for safe disposal.

    Exactly.

    The same argument could be applied to almost any company, yet you didn't include a copy of Linux.
