I want to use a AMex blue card to buy the OEM version.
Right now i am afraid i will get shafted when after i buy r7500 oem, they change the name to r7500 LE, then i won't be able to pricematch it. Please, if anyone hear any news about this, please tell me. I am holding back right now.

ATi is already using the LE name again to differentiate between the retail and OEM versions of the Radeon 8500. I havent heard of any similar plans for the R7500 though, nor di I believe any are going to be introed as the OEM and retail 7500 cards don't differ at all, and they have they 7200/7000 to cover th lower end that an "LE" 7500 might have catered to.
