Jeff It's been a while, but I =think= it was $239 at OWC. It was a PowerLogix brand. Of course I =had= to have it right away and paid for next morning shipping! ;-) No... it wasn't hard at all. The only small problem was I had to take the fan guard off the heat sink to get to the mounting screws on the new CPU. In summary... Remove the two heatsink clips and heatsink on the old CPU. Remove three mounting screws. Lift off the old CPU. Line up and connect the new CPU. Install three mounting screws. Find a power connector for the cooling fan. Close him up. Power on. Blast off! The only caveat, I think, is there could possibly be a firmware issue, but the more experienced folk lurking about could better address this.
