What's the sense of paying (for example) $179.99 for Athlon 1.3GHz at GNS instead of ~$130 + shipping? That ~$50 savings gets you a 256MB stick .... By the time that Athlon craps out on you, chances are you'll have to send to the factory anyway .. no? I buy cases, video cards and monitors (occasionally) at GNS .. all the stuff that doesn't make sense to ship. -Jay p.s. just don't order from computerhq.com, be sure to check reseller ratings when ordering on-line.
