If you get them in non-shield form, you can definitely get them for less, but you'll have to do a little work to mount and wire them. No loss of functionality though. You save $10 on the Deumilanove by getting the Pro instead, which is the same thing, just in a different form factor, and there's similar savings to be had on ethernet chipsets. -- Matthew Walker Kydance Hosting & Consulting, Inc. - http://www.kydance.net/ PHP, Perl, and Web Development - Linux Server Administration /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
