i got a trio of 256s thanks to will enestvedt but i could still use a
pc100 128 for my dell gx1; it doesn't take 256s.

on a frustrating note, the gx110 the 256s were intended for has
stopped working.  it's not completely dead; the fans come on [but
don't immediately shut down like before] and the front panel disk and
power leds are on, but it's unresponsive to the front panel buttons -
and the power led should be on only when the system is booted.  i'm
mystified as to what it's actually doing and not doing, at a detail
level.  this semi-activation keeps teasing me into thinking it should
be fixable...

anyone have ideas?  on the likelihood i'd cracked the cpu while
peeking at the heatsink i replaced it with a guaranteed-not-doa
1000/133/256 cpu from ebay [a coppermine like the original], but no
change.
