it means, somebody bought it, and returned

it should be fine,,,

ome is cheaper than the regular ones, but the qulity wise they are the same...

just the pakaging is different. The normal ones come in a box, but ome ones comes in a saperate bag.

oh ya, oem cpus don't come with the heat sink/ fan....

so, when you are buying a cpu, get the normal pakaged one,
unless you are thinking of serious overclocking...
