sounds warm...... though i've been out of the loop with the CPU prices these days...

Do they charge PST?

It would be a great price for an X2... but the part # suggests it's a 2.4GHz single-core.

What is the different between this one? http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=10360BD4129&vpn=ADA3800CUBOX&manufacture=AMD

The picture shows Single Core 3800+ AM2

It's a typo, it's NOT a X2. The part number ADA3800CWBOX = Single-core 3800+.

Your title should read: Athlon 64 3800+ AM2 $128.58 not Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AM2 $128.58

The website doesn't mention anything about Dual core. AM2 is just the name of the cpu socket type. has nothing to do with cpu being dualcore.

product name on the website was Athlon 64 X2 3800+ AM2 $128.58 so it was not the OPs fault. it was a title error on directcanada's part.

Anyone deal with this company before? They have good prices....

I bought a hard drive and a video card from them last month, both orders were basically processed, filled and at my door within 24 hours (from bc to toronto) using air shipping. very good service, didnt have to deal with support, although the drive i got from them is making clunking sounds, the only option i had for an rma was a return and that would have cost me a 15 or 20% restocking fee, so i will just drop it off directly to seagate. also i dont have to pay to ship it back to them.
