[plug] upgrading to Duron

[Simon Scott]

	Personally I think the quality of some of the stuff mcg gets (esp
ram) is questionable.

	Id plug User Friendly in North Perth, and tell you while he might
not be the cheapest on everything if you are buying a bunch of components
he's probably cheapest overall, but its run by a friend of mine so I wont...
:)
