Something is seriously wrong here.  The list price on a II->IIfx upgrade is only like $3000 and even without educational discounts I got it for $2300 a few months ago.  If you tack on a SuperDrive at the same time, that might add $500 or so dollars more and you will have to buy at least 4 MB's of RAM but buy this on the open market and it won't cost you more than around $250 or so.  Bottom line is you should be looking at a little over $3000 without an educational discount.  (BTW: this is a LOT less than a








 new fx CPU.)
