John,

Don't trust Fry's with doing anything to your computer. I understand the reason behind Peter's advice, but he's obviously never gone to a Fry's electronics store in the states They'd beat the living crapola out of anything they touched and probably zap it with ESD when they set their styrofoam McDonalds cups next to the processor. I'm sure they'd bend half the pins while they tried to align the processer in the slot incorrectly.

Fry's has fair prices on many items, good local selection, and nothing else.
