I am plannig to buy a P3 450. I dont know if I should get the OEM or retail version. I've heard that the retail's heat sink and fan are hard to get off but has a better warrenty. Any advice on which to get?

In general, the retail units have a better reputation for overclocking.

The mystery is, why does a P2-450 cost more than a P3-450?

Get any 450 P3 and you can easly go to 504 with a BH6

He means that overclocking voids the warranty anyway, so it doesn't really matter how long it lasts for.

Any P3 will do!

The retail cost more for nothing.
