I intended to bid at the last minute, but forgot about the auction, and
was upset that i missed the end.  Processor modules don't get much
cheaper than that.  Shipping rate isn't great, but the overall price
with shipping is quite acceptable IMHO.

That's exactly why i'm looking for one.  I was asking to try to
determine weather i should go ahead and buy a second 200mhz module or
spring for a pair of faster processors.
