AMD Pricing

Saw this over at the Inquirer, thought it was quite interesting, would grab a box CPU if I could. Pricing for OEM vs. Box is WAY off.

I would go box if the cost wasnt more than 25.00. If it is more than I would go OEM and take my chances.

Yes I agree, but it looks upside down to me, wouldn't you want box more expensive than OEM ? I thought it was quite humoris....

what i was trying to say is that if the price between oem and box is less than 25.00 i would go with box. There is no reason to get an OEM for only a few dollars less than a box. Boxed CPU's carry a 3 year warranty.
