The computed value is used for some driver timing. It can also detect some CPU misconfigurations. Quite valuable thing.

You need the key to run the virtual machine, archive unpacking and installation can be done without the key. Milan Kopacka -- ... a koho system nachyta na procesoru, tomu snizi prioritu.
