^ Zarhym 2010-02-20. Vote Kick CD removed. Retrieved on 2010-02-19. “It's not mentioned in the notes, but the Vote Kick option no longer has a 15-minute cooldown. Enjoy. :)”
^ Datth 2010-03-23. This system will not be supported.... Retrieved on 2010-03-23. “There's a good chance that the patch encapsulating the 4.0 changes will make it completely unsupported when we move to new technology that your OS doesn't support. Windows 98 support was technically dropped in Burning Crusade and Wrath although it'd still run. We're planning more changes to 4.0 that drops support for *very* old technologies, too. When we get more information, we'll post it. I think for your case, old Athlon Thunderbird and Duron Spitfire chips will be dropped since you got the SSE message. Athlon XP and Duron Applebred will be fine.”
