I was hoping to be, at least, in the ball park, and after the
thread on iMac memory I can understand that one can always wring a
few dollars more from a price, but this one seemed reasonable. This
especially after seeing the Macwarehouse prices. I was also wondering
about a Canadian source with a similar price, and save the
cross-border headaches.

profiler, and found it's a G3 rev b board.
