THAT is what I wanted to hear.
I don't think I can get away with that low a price, however. I discovered very rapidly that there are no suitable 800MHz CPUs in this country, so I shopped Pricegrabber to see what I could import. The prices available there start at just over $100. Where do you find them for $20 - 40?
