Unfortunately this processor card is not a very common item so discount mail order houses are not an option. I have tried all the resellers listed by the manufacturer, and only half a handful stocks the card I need and they will not ship outside the US as that would put their dealership at risk. In fact this item is listed by the manufacturer as "buy while stocks last, will not be restocked" Chris >Chris: > >>Would you help me save a few hundred $$?
