I know this isnt a hot deal or nothin, but u need to watch out for these guys. I ordered a video card from YMI. Its a company I found on Pricematch. Their on there a lot. YMI stands for Yang Ming International. But I ordered a video card and the foolio's charged me that day, and i was looking over my statement and there it was again, charged again the very next day. So I called them and their customer service kept askin , "so what do you want to do?" I just got kinda pissed that they would ask a question like that, shouldnt they be apologizing or something? I forgot the exact web address for this YMI place, but it'll say YMI clearly on the header on the first page. Im trying ot find it again on pricematch butt heir site is sunder construction, and i need ot get my z's.

Also beware of pricewatch.com semi-scams: if you look for cheap quotes on CPUs, sometimes they're cheap because they're just OC'd to a higher speed (ie they'll sell a 600mhz Athlon at 900mhz). Check to make sure they're not OC'd before you purchase them. Just keepin' heads up.

I say instead of being a cheap ho and saving a few bucks, go buy from a place that you KNOW is good (i.e. Accessmicro, Mwave, Buy.com, etc). At least these places have some semblance of a return policy.

I saw a couple systems titled AMD processor at 900MHz and they were actually overclocked machines. A couple other systems were titled Authentic 900MHz AMD processor and those were not oc'd.

To the average consumer they would look the same, but the first substantially cheaper.
