Difference between HP AMD 2384 and OEM 2384

[softwareguy256]

I bought OEM from new egg for almost $1000 and was quite shocked when doing a google product search to see it for $699. The caveat though is that it is a processor upgrade for the HP. What are the differences between HP and OEM and can I safely return mine to get the HP and save a few $$?

Dude, what are you talking about? You bought OEM what?

You could build a whole computer for that much. A 2.7 ghz AMD processor is only $63.

Are you on crack?

First learn to use google, then my question might make some sense.

Sorry your on a computer fourm OEM means bare, not retail, doesn't come with the extra's like cables or heatsinks.

If people want advice they shouldn't insult those who are tring to help you

HP upgrade is for HP systems and warranted by HP. AFAIK, no HP system means no warranty. Nothing else - they are both bare procs in a protective shell.

or did you miss the math class where they put one plus one to get two as well as the class on how to have proper etiquette in a forum?

This thread is a perfect example of why I avoid forums. A simple question with a simple answer gets two obnoxious and combative replies that never answer the question. A total waste of bandwidth...

Another is the totally stupid rules like the "flooding" rule: 3 messages in FIVE minutes is not a flood of anything! ...but no, I have to waste my time to wait TEN minutes before I can reply.
Arggggggggh!

buh-bye.
