    Some good news, now that I am finiky. I told restockit to cancel my 
order and they said they can't get any more. So they were happy to 
cancel my order.

    Then I went looking and the new Circuit City web page said they have 
the AMD Athelon 64 LE-1640 cpu chips so tried to order on their web page 
but it is broken, can't enter your credit card number :-)

    So I called them and they said yes the web page is busted, and yes 
he checked and they have on hand 400 of these cpu chips in stock! He 
said they are selling fast. I ordered mine and it will be delivered 
middle of next week. The cost is around $46.00 with shipping.

    I sure hope nothing goes wrong with this order!
