[professor]

Can anyone figure out the difference betwee
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80726-
an
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80726-R

One is $481, the other is $458! They both seem to be the X2 4400+
but one has a link to where you can get a rebate on some OC-Z ram
but doesn't say you have to have a rebate to get the $458 price o
the X2. I thought the -r meant refurbished, but zipzoomfly usuall
says when something is refurbished. They both have to be retail an
not OEM because they both have the 3-year AMD warranty

The answer is at www.amdcompare.com , in the desktop section.
One device has a lower power requirement than the other,
so the expensive processor wastes less electricity. Sorry I
cannot provide more information than that. In other respects
they appear to be identical processors, but perhaps there is
some other distinction I am missing.
