Hello Taiidan,

I bought it used, but the seller was so kind to send me the module. It 
was a nice surprise.

If you need high quality photos of this module or anything else, please 
don´t hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help.

My cpu is 6238 not 6328, but thank you for your advise :-) .

Regards,

- Eli
