I'm gonna buy a Radeon, quick question

I think I read somewhere that the OEM version of the Radeon 32ddr is clocked at 160/160 instead of the 166/166 of the retail. If this is true, the ram chips are still the same speed correct? I should be able to overclock the oem as far as the retail? I'm asking because it seems like all the places on the internet are selling the oem version (i'm also cheap 😀).
 
My OEM was clocked at 166/166. It shouldn't matter though, you should have no problems overclocking it via Powerstrip to at least 183Mhz. (Many 32meg DDRs will do over ~190-195 and some break 200 without artifacts).

Good luck, it's a nice card 🙂
 
Dont' worry too much about it. My OEM came in at 148/148 as well and is now running at 190/190 with no problems at all.
