these are both the exact same CPU, but ebuyer is charging over twice as much for it, compared to newegg. this is really annoying me, as ebuyer don't seem to have lowered any of the prices of the AM2 CPUs at all, even though AMD dramatically lowered the prices in response to the release of Conroe. Could anyone tell me if i've made a mistake here or are ebuyer trying to rip us off?

1. I think newegg hasnt added tax on.
2. America is cheaper than uk.

 

[Shando]

Yes, I know the america is a lot cheaper, but not that much cheaper

 

[Jam3s-Zer0]

Well add tax = about £120 on newegg.

Here is am2 X2 4200+ for £128

What's up with this?

Because some people will buy it with comparing prices.

Why does the top one say that it's socket 940?

 

[Milkman]

The socket 940 requires a different motherboard (most of the time).

It also says AM2. I'm guessing it's referring to the 940 pins
