the prices here aren't high. Almost a year ago my brother bought a 1.6GHz Athlon, it cost about $120 or so. Current price for a 1.83GHz Athlon is about $110. I didn't realize the A7V has been upgraded. it's on of the earliest KT133A motherboards. If you're talking about the ASUS A7N8X (dual LAN, SATA, Firewire, USB2.0) that's about $150. the reason the ASUS PC-DL i mentioned costs 20k pesos (~ $400) is because it's a *DUAL XEON* board. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
