On this afternoon, the girl was still fiddling with the motherboard. A motherboard that had been stored in a humid climate for twenty years was virtually a Petri dish for mold, covered in brightly colored fuzzy growths that at a glance could be mistaken for a painter's palette. Ban Xia cleaned them off, then put them outside under the Sun to bake. Wang Ning said it's best to find unused, unopened motherboards, preferably industrial or military ones because they use tantalum capacitors, which are less prone to failure.
"Find an industrial 3150 motherboard, a fanless Celeron 3150 industrial motherboard might do the trick," Wang Ning said. "You can easily find those on Zhujiang Road."
"Have you used that before?" Bai Zhen asked. "What system?"
"XP or Win7," Wang Ning answered.
"Great," Bai Zhen nodded. "Then you can play Red Alert."
