Out of stock, darn.

OTOH I scored a dual core Intel 64 bit 2.8 GHz processor
Gateway for $21.39 bought bulk and untested with 1 Gig DDR SDRAM.

Ray bought in bulk and couldn't be bothered to test each one
so I got a DEAL!

DVD RW, CD-ROM RW.

Currently boots to Windows Vista but that'll soon change.
