what's the difference between the oem and retail besides the 3 yr warranty from amd? are the oem ones just so so processors and retail ones are good yields? i'm thinking of getting the 3500+ oem rev. e since i already have an xp-120. what's the latest status please. i read in xtremesys forum that this guy got an email saying his 3700+ rev. e was shipped. any truth to that?
OEM's come in on a tray without any manufactuer warranty or heatsink fan. Quality of chip from my own past history doesn't have much to do with what ends up retail box or OEM. (I personally have always bought OEM cpus, and just got a Sempron 3100+ OEM myself) We give a 60 day warranty through us, and you can go up further from that. (Out to three years)
I'd honestly ask the guy to show proof as far as the 3700+ rev E. goes, because I haven't seen anything yet and haven't heard any further updates since yesterday.
