Jeff Keller reported on PowerWatch that AllMac has PPC 603e CPU cards at 200 MHz and 240 MHz for $79 and $99 respectively. I couldn't confirm it from their web site but these are great deals if you do not plan to get a G3 CPU card from PowerLogix or NewerTECH. I highly recommend a G3 card if you can afford one, especially now that PowerLogix has announced them starting at $799 for a 233 MHz G3. The performance increase is phenomenal!
