On Sale.com OSA146BNBOX

What does the different mfg. Part # mean? They are both BN so they are retail right?
I'm trying to order tonight before the opteron price increase takes effect.

ok, I simply typed OSA146DAA5BN in RTYPE and it said it was the OEM

- what I really need to know is what will be missing if i get the OEM? a heatsink?

anyone?

Umm yup. OEM = only 1 year warranty I believe and no heatsink.

You do not get a heastink. You also get NO warranty, unless onsale.com extends one to you. AMD does NOT warrant any OEM chips. So unless the vendor covers you, you're on your own. This is moot if you plan to overclock since it voids the warranty anyway though

I thought oem opterons had 1 year?

Nope, unless the reseller offers one. Directly from AMD's site:

"If I have a non-boxed product, who do I contact to determine if my problem is covered by the warranty?

Contact the company from which you originally bought your computer system or contact the system manufacturer. If your system was built by an OEM, please address your issue directly to that OEM for resolution. You can also consult the warranty documentation that accompanied your computer system for specific warranty terms and conditions. DO NOT contact AMD.

The reseller from which I bought a system that contains an AMD processor informs me that my warranty has expired. Does AMD provide a warranty extension period for the processor?

No. AMD DOES NOT cover products purchased from reseller and DOES NOT provide any extensions to the warranty period as outlined in the documentation which came with your computer system. "

I ordered the OEM and emailed them as to when they expect a shipment to arrive.
This was there response, I hate it when they don't provide a contact #.

does this mean my order is cancelled or that I'll have to wait for a while?

means you'll have to wait a while so they recommend you cancel.
