I just ordered an OEM Radeon 8500 (to take a break from nvidia cards since TNT 1) thinking OEM was the same thing as retail, except for the software package wich I dont care about.
Well now I'm reading in some posts about some people doing BIOS flashes to turn their OEM to retail and make them faster.
What gives? Is the retail card the same as the OEM just with a faster clock? or do they actually have faster RAM chips too? Please let me know ASAP.
PS.: Is an OEM 8500 faster than a Geforce 3 Ti200?
Thanks!
