"Upgrade - how long will it last?"

Basically i am looking at upgrade as a few of you know.

I was looking at a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ but i'm now thinking bigger, now i'm looking at AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+.

I need a CPU that is pretty much going to last for 2 years or at least a while.

Thoughts? other CPU suggestions?

Ahaha. You told them about it. Other wise you could have got it for cheap.

Yeah but if i had ordered it and they noticed it i'd feel a lot more disappointed as i would have been expecting it any day.

This probably is a stupid question but, if i buy a motherboard from the US am i going to have issues power wise? am i better just looking at uk based companies?

But if it'd been shown as that price wouldn't you be able to demand they kept to their word?

Only if SR tried to sell it.
If they want they can just say "no, we don't want to sell".


You forget that sellers have the right to refuse purchase.

nah because it's on the net, recently argos has a tv for 49p on their website due to a pricing error and they didn't have to supply them for that price as far as i know.

UK. I'm not sure about the power issue (i expect you could just use an adapter), but surely if it didn't work and you had to send it back it'd be a load more hassle.

"Let's discuss whether to be deceitful to SR on their own forums"

Genius.

Well I didn't forget because I didn't actually know. I know that in places like WHSmiths you can demand they stick to a certain price though, I've done it myself.

That's because most people think (like you), that if it's shwon at a certain price they HAVE to sell it at that price.


That is true.

But they have to sell it at that price if they actually sell it.

They don't have to sell it if they don't want to.

So, if say Book A is advertised at £5 when it's actually supposed to be £10.

WH Smith have two choices:

Sell Book A for £5
Don't sell book A.

Samsung/some other camera manufacurer lost a lot of money because a lot of people ordered a camera from their website at a reasonable but wrong price and a court upheld their purchases.

That was a large group though.
