WARNING!  We have had some pretty mixed results with Computer Geeks.  
Note that they will ship extra VRM's with their Providence boards, but 
no port shields.  Also note that you need super-funky DIMMs for these 
boards (EDO, buffered, parity or ECC).

They also had a stock of P6-166/512's, but as they were shipping them 
LOOSE IN THE BOX, I expect that most of them have come back and been 
binned by now.
