everything looks the same except the memory speed at 600 and 650. Ive read through the reviews they have and cant get a definate answer. one says theirs came with 650 and another 600(both reviews together)

maybe its just random? hehe and noticed the 'bulk' one is on many more wishlists even though its 1$ cheaper and comes with same stuff. If im correct retail has a longer warranty then bulk/oem?

now time for classes
thanks for any replys!

Faster memory. People like that. Save a dollar, get faster memory. Looks like a better deal to me.

Even if the specs are wrong you could have an xtra dollar for a couple sodas, a beer, some girl's g-string, etc...
