Hmm.  I was looking on ebay (first mistake I suppose) and seeing prices like
$20-$25.  Sure, that is affordable, but it seems foolish when Durons with
Mobos can be had for something like $70.

I've arranged to get a CPU.  Looking over the site to see if I want to add
it to my list of shopping locations.
