:Obviously, they don't think so, but if they did, where could one who was willing

:'2-3 weeks for delivery' without my modem!)

	I believe the upgrade cost is based pretty much on the chip price. I'm
sure they have a handling charge in there also. Since the chip is mounted in a
PLCC socket with no relief holes behind it, I doubt if you'll see upgrades from
your local dealer. If you want to do the upgrade yourself, just buy the newer
Intel modem chip and slap it in yourself. Good luck in finding that chip for 
only $20 though! :-)

:Thanks all,
