Well, I called... this price doesn't include the 386 processor, just the motherboard. For a '386-20, the price should be ~$275, but I haven't prices the '386-25. Probably ~$100 more. Still not a bad price next to many of the motherboards out there, but not the steal it first appears to be. > --Andrew P.S. If my info is incorrect, I hope Sys forgives me... so if you're serious about buying this, give 'em a call yourself to verify. -- Andrew L.
