I ordered 2, and both are the infamous CBBID 0507FPAW. They evidently had a bunch of them.

Sprinkle them on a $85 Chaintech Nforce4 Ultra, toss on a gig of $83 Value Ram, add some $89 Hitachi 160gig SATAII drives (about $57 for the 80giggers), lightly insert a recycled PCI bus video card, and you should have the makings of a cheap AMD64 bit server/computer.

$113+17 (OEM HSF)+85+83+57=$355, darned cheap for a socket 939 PC.

If I can just find some decent CHEAP Geforce PCI-e video cards that work well with Linux, I'll be set.

Nvidia 6200 for $50 is quite good, even for light gaming and HTPC. For serious gaming get 6600GT. btw, with your winchester, and nforce4 ultra board it's almost a crime not to overclock it - you're GUARANTEED at least 25% speed increase (raise FSB to 250 from 200, keep memory at DDR400 though). It's practicely a waste not to do it.
