| 737668 | 2009-01-12 02:08:00 | Retail. OEM has no fan and is packaged in bubble wrap (= less protection). Unless you're into OCing, the stock fan (which comes with the retail unit) is sufficient. |

| 737671 | 2009-01-12 04:41:00 | Retail - 3 yr warranty. I have never needed a 3 yr warranty with a cpu, in fact, I have never had a cpu failure..... |

| 737672 | 2009-01-12 20:31:00 | I got the retail @ $10 more, may look into OC in the future, but fans are $50+ huh ... Hopefully not backed too much, cos they say on order. | Nomad (952) | ||
