I just want to see if anyone has an opinion on this subject. Personally, I've noticed that the retail parts I buy tend to last longer, but also perform better than an OEM part. This has been true of all of the Mobos that I have ever bought, for example. My theory is that companies probably select their best performing parts for retail channels after they run them through QA testing. the stuff that is not-so-great gets shipped to the OEM's, who's customers prob won't anyway.
Tell me what you think.
