Hmmm... we must have purchased them from different
people. How much did you pay?

Mine came on Intel chips. I really can't complain
because original simmons used a chip of lesser quality
than Intel.  True they were NOT original Simmons but a
digital copy is as good as copies that simmons use to
copy :)... there is no loss in audio quality with
digital copies!

I admit the s/h charge was a little steep ($4.95) but
each additional chip was only a buck for shipping...so
by the time the bidding was over I got 5 different
chips for less that $28 total.  That's a far cry from
the $30+ that Simmons use to charge for just ONE
chip....SO... all in all I guess I'm happy.

BUT... if I had been charged 15 times the actual
poatage... I just would have refused!  That would have
been around $25 extra bucks!  I always make sure and
get my shipping charges in order BEFORE I bid on
anything......lessons learned.
