Would anyone like to confirm that this is for real? That's a dang good price for 3 of these things. I think there has to be a price mistake somewhere in there. If there isn't, I just may have to make the shift.

I'd buy it quickly. That is a great price! You can sell them for even more! But what does System Builders mean?

I think it's just saying it's an OEM and not retail, but I'm not entirely sure.

Hey, tell me if you bought it and its a realy deal. Because I want to get it to, but dont know if I'll just end up getting one or something.

I haven't bought it yet. I was wondering the same thing, wanting someone to confirm whether it's authentic or not. Because if it is, my money's in. I just thought there had to be a bad mistake there.

I just looked at pricegrabber, and you can get any 32-bit version 3 packs for around this price. Great deal, you can even get the 32-bit ediion of home premium for $80 with shipping.

You can still buy it tho, they might require you to buy a piece of hardware or something like a mouse

Yes, they might require you to buy some hardware, but a easy way around it is to just spend some cash on a cheap mouse.

I once saved several hundred dollars for a customer when he wanted XP Pro, bought him OEM, and a new mouse
