Since i work at compusa, i got the hook up from intel and their retail edge program. I just got my P4 3.4 and 915 board with my copy of windows pro for 200 bucks! Sweeet. I just wish AMD had something similar with an fx chip.
I think he means that AMD didn't have an FX bundle to buy at the time of purchase, so he had to go Intel. A 3.4 is still a nice chip, my 3.2 serves me more than well.
