OEM or RETAIL?

[lolage]

Im about to buy some speakers, the OEM version is £8 cheaper. What will i not get if i purchase the OEM version?

Depends, but normally box, instructions.

OEM warranty can be sorter, and there is no tech support on the phone normally

Things like speakers generaly dont need tech support though, and im geussing a good brand will work long enough to not need a warenty.

Things like CPUs on the other hand, a warenty can be a bit more usefull, and the OEM cpus lack a heatsink/fan too.

With the AMD cpu's I think it used to be 3 years warranty with retail and less with O.E.M.
When it comes to Microsoft it's a case of retail means you don't get charged for phoning helpline but you do with O.E.M.
