ATI 8500 ..difference between oem and retail...

[XRdirtHead]

What would be missing from the oem box.....oem and white box is the same, right?
Is it just a matter of having to download the drivers online? \
Pricewatch makes it confusing! HELP!

OEM's are clocked slower and have slower ram chips on them.

no kidding....hmm...so is it worth it to spend the extra dough on retail?

Definitely get the Retail and make sure it's built by ATI. How much is the price difference you're looking at?

 

[XRdirtHead]

Looks like only 15 bucks....

 

[pillage2001]

I would get the retail. How much is it anyway??

 

[XRdirtHead]

$109.00

Go for it. I bought mine for 99 bucks when Compusa had it on sale 2 months back and never looked back.
