Next?... ok, now that I've come to the conclusion that it's the
logic board, where to find one? and which one? I'd like the 166mhz
system bus and 2 mb level 3 cache... (as close to the original specs
as possible) is there a number on the board that's in it now that I
can give to identify the exact board I need? Jeff
