    a cpu is not a computer. a cpu is a processor inside the computer.

    allegory of the cave

    "a cpu is not a computer. a cpu is a processor inside the computer."

    Where the h*** have you been the last decade or so. The terms have essentially become synonymous.

    Technically...

    You can just convince yourself that you are buying only the processor if it makes you feel better. It just happens that Amazon sells these CPUs seated in "protective" motherboards and surrounded in really expensive plastic (or Ti/Al!). I guess they just really don't want the CPU to get damaged in transit! Semantic problem resolved...

    maybe

    maybe first post just tried to make a joke that if you buy a dual then you should get 2x$200, but then i guess it would make more sence if it would be $200+$100 since it would not be above $4K, or would it?

    Just bought my kids one

    Now if they still had free shipping, then this is great. Regardless, no sales tax and a $100 gift certifcate to boot. It should make a nice machine for my kids to play JumpStart on.

    Booyah

    Amazon blows. They are slow to ship, the Golden box thing is annoying and they continually cancel orders after they confirm availability.
    If I am going to buy an Apple, I'll get it from somewhere else. Rebate/gift certificate...its still a calculated scam.
    Ooops. I sound bitter. :P
