• Competitor rules

    Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.

I hope this isn't a stupid question!

Yeah the only difference between the two is that the Retail comes with Intel HSF + longer warranty (as far as I know) :)
 
Thanks guys. I was hoping you'd say that.

I did wonder if Intel, or AMD would give the better batches to OEM's. I gues that must be where most of their cpu's go.

Thanks cyz but I can't afford a quad core yet. :(

Gonna get an E2160 for now and start saving for when the new quads come out.
 
Well I should definitely get one of those seen as it's named after me! ;)

How much are we looking at for the E8500 then?
