The diff between Retail and Oem

I was going to buy an Oem conroe cpu from Oc but I have decided to get the retail E6400 instead peace of mind, but no doubt I will have upgraded the cpu again befor warrenty runs out lol, These things do come off the production line very quick lol.... 
oem is a lot cheaper but as people have said more limited warranty and lack of proper shiny boxes with extras inside.
x800gto oem came in a brown box works perfect had to download drivers as no cd and no cables.
oem athlon 64 3700+ came in a nice wee black box and was a lot cheaper than the retail even with the heat sink i bought seperatly
my previous retail sempron processor didnt have a nice wee black box with it to reuse for the older processor so sometimes oem is better than retail
both oem products ive ordered from ocuk have worked flawlessly and despite been oem there wasnt a single bit of dust on either component
