From what I can see at AMD and Asus's site, the AMD Assured version is subjected to a variety of tests to ensure stability, at which point the box gets a small little seal that certifies it as part of the program. The non-Assurance version was probably manufactured before the testing, and thus is cheaper mainly because it's older.
