What's wrong with Price Watch?

Compared to KillerApp.com, their content is disorganized. End-users who are not as tech-savvy may be confused by the descriptions on the web site. For instance, let's pick an arbitrary CPU - the Intel Celeron 366. Price Watch returns a list of about 10 matches for the CPU. Here's a sampling of the product names returned: "Celeron 366-OEM", "Celeron 366 PPGA Retail Boxed", "Celeron 366 w/ 128k PPGA", "Celeron 366-Retail Boxed", "Celeron 366-Retail Boxed Slot 1 128KB L2 Cache", "Celeron 366", "Boxed Celeron 366". Perhaps the hard-core techie can figure out the difference between the wide variations of the product, but most people would probably be stumped. Retailers seem to have the freedom to put whatever product name they want, and whatever description they want. This makes it hard for the end-user to compare by prices alone - the way it should be. They used to be the best and only, but in recent times they have fallen way behind. Yet, for really tech-savvy users who know exactly what they looking for, Price Watch still sometimes retrieve the best prices.
