Hey Jim If you are comfortable paying $125 for the board and service, good for you and it will be over and done with. Others here may have their personal favorite suppliers. I have gone with OWC for all the RAM I put in my SM 3000. Here is what you want, I don't think you can beat the price, I had no trouble with anything I got from them and they are very reputable: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=3373&Item=OWC33MD064MBE Don't pay someone to do it, it's too easy. Take note of the dual and single bank slots. Zap PRAM and check under the Apple or Apple System Profiler to make sure everything is ok. They also have hard drives for under $60.
Did I see a suggestion that a virus from the web ruined a motherboard? That would be (absurd), even if it was a Mac virus which is highly unlikely in the first place.
