Not expensive, here in Russia you can get a VS440FX for some $30.

They are not as common as they used to be here, with dual processor boards commanding a premium. Plus the CPUs are like $30 a piece and heatsinks are not common either for socket 8.

Complete 486 systems, at 150 dollars and up on eBay.
Some are with VLB and some are not.

Yup, that's pretty much what's in mine also. The manual I have looks a little weird, though:

Never seen anything like it before or since.

I also have the original receipt and install instructions for the GUS ACE memory upgrade:

I believe I had to wait about 5 weeks for delivery (and yes, I did pay that much for a single 512k SOJ memory chip in 1996), but it was worth it.

Ooohh, the pain......
