this cpu

and

this cpu

they seem exactly the same to me, but one is cheaper. could it be that the cheaper one is OEM? im quite confused. i dont care if its OEM, its considerably less and i have some heatsinks to spare.

please let me know if you know.

thanks a lot.

Well from this site doe not give any infromation at all for product details so you can't tell. BTW, how much does the 2nd one cost with the special member's dicount?

The latter, more expensive one is actually in stock. That's the difference.

Both are retails.

whoa! so they are both EXACTLY the same, but there is a $50 gap between the two?

If you check around the internet, you'll notice that places with Opterons in stock cost a bit more than places that don't. It's just a trend in the whole Opteron craze. One possibility is that AMD is charging more to retailers who want them, thus they must raise prices.
