Exactly what does this mean when your buying OEM are they any harder to install? IE cd drive, hard drives. Just dont want to get myself into a bind when I get the stuff.
 
OEM means original equipment manafacturer. Basicaly, its everything the RETAIL version is except all the fancy stuff. For example, if u were going to get a hdd OEM, it would just be the hard drive. no screws, no cables. If u were to get Windows XP oem, it means no fancy box, packaging and stuff. Go with OEM. So much cheaper if u already have the stuff laying around.
