I will consider, thanks. Isn't it usually $10 difference between OEM and retailer?
XP 3000 has new 400FSB instead of 333FSB, good value.

<nobody will replace [a CPU that fails because of bad heatsink installation], even when the CPU is retail>

Actually, Fry's replaced one of my XP1800+ CPUs and an ECS motherboard that both failed because of a bad heatsink bought from NewEgg. It was a 3-month-old OEM unit.
