OEM stuff

bamaboy · 01-21-2006, 06:00 PM

on OEM stuff i know you dont get the fancy box, but what exactly do you get if you buy oem vs retail (all this from newegg)

will oem come with the jumpers, cables, and everything you need to hook it up what wont it come with

this goes for hard drives and dvd burners

i know on dvd drives if you get a dvd drive it will have the company name on the retail version and not on the oem

usually w/e you see in the pictures thats what you will get.
it will just come to you bubble wrapped and put in a box.

You will usually only receive the drive (with jumpers of course). However, I doubt you will have cables with it, especially the audio cable which is rarely used these days.

As most people just use the audio connections on their motherboard or from the sound card, as better sound quality plus surround sound capabilities..
