A system and method for facilitating a user's purchase of products which
are compatible for use with a component of the user's processor system.
The particular type of the user's component may be determined without
input from the user. An intermediary server system is configured to
receive a purchase request from the user's processor system specifying
the particular type of the component. In one embodiment of the invention,
the intermediary server system is configured to identify products which
are compatible for use with the particular type of component. If a
particular vendor is not specified by the user, the intermediary server
system may also identify one or more vendors offering to sell the
compatible products. Additionally, the intermediary server system may
forward a notification of the purchase request to a vendor server system
associated with a selected vendor. The vendor server system is configured
to transmit a purchase invitation to the processor system specifying one
or more products which are compatible for use with the particular type of
component.
