Well if you keep the system running for about 3-4yrs. Windows 7 and the 64bit only versions to follow will have use for the 8gb. After Win 7 MS plans on dumping the 32bit kernel all together. Will the software and hardware companies get their act together fast enough? The market is still 32bit!
There are a few different types of OEM types. The branded disks come along with a prebuilt system having a preinstalled OS and are restricted to that one machine only by serial number etc. there.
The OEM for system builders type is unbranded and comes without the retail carton and large paper back book on that version of Windows. The drawback with any OEM disk is mainly it being limited to one machine while saving cost wise if you are on a tight budget.
XP OEM disks generally come in a simple sleeve while Vista sees a plastic case for the new dvd format. That will see a slide on piece of cardboard with information on that in addition to the MS label with the product key.
