I copied everything in the ad, and the guy on the phone didn't know. Today there's a barebones that's even more bare (no ethernet, modem or audio). AMD Athlon 650MHz boxed CPU AMD approved power supply and case. FIC SD11 motherboard installed floppy drive One per customer at $279. This might be a better choice if you're concerned about getting a supported sound or ethernet card. I'd add in the 13GB Ultra DMA/66 hard drive for $85... Anyone veto the FIC MoBo? -crl -- Chad R.
