I can't find the other link right now, but basically it looks at 12 items on
your system, CPU, NIC MAC address, IDE/SCSI card, Motherboard, HD, video
card, etc., and if more than 3-4 are different, it screams...  I'd be hard
pressed to find a system at my house that has more than 1-2 of the original
components, but then again only one of them could even run XP with its
memory and cpu hogging requirements.
