What's wrong with this site?

Tigerdirect has 2 listings for Opteron 165. Same processor but radically different prices. Am I missing something or is their website messed up?

The cheaper one comes with a heatsink and fan while the more expensive one is just the processor. Probably, the retail box is on special sale and they did not change the OEM CPU price.

I wouldn't shop there anyway

Why not? They have all these cpus that ncix doesn't have and their prices are lower. They are the only Canadian etailer I've seen with X2 4400's still for purchase.

I'd still go local, Tiger's prices are still way too friggin' high on mostly everything. Once in a blue moon they have a good special but I'd still shop at local places and get them to ship it.

Ya I'm gonna buy a bunch of components locally but none of the shops here have any Opteron 165s or X2 4400's and tigerdirect has both for great prices.
