im gonna order my new cpu today and ive been looking at a 3200. i can get a retail 3200 for £93.99, but i can get a 3500 OEM for £101 or 3700 OEM for £133. i dont have a lot of cash atm (damn car repairs) so need it to be as cheap as poss. do u think its worth waiting to get a 3700? or just stick with the 3200?

That depends on the rest of your system, and if you're planning to overclock?

ok. i found an opteron 144 OEM for £113 (retail is £122.41) and a 146 OEM for £118 (retail for £143.53) . i want to get this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=184657 heatsink so i dont really need the retail version. obviously its worth paying the extra £5 for the 146 right.........
