OEM vers RETAIL
After having oem and Retail I found Retail to peform better
same mother board and ram
How ever I was told there was no diffrence
I noticed on a XP 2600 OEM its listed - numbered like this > Model#: AXDA2600DKV3D
I noticed on Retail xp 2600 it is listed - numbered like this > Model#: AXDA2600BOX
It was the same for XP 2000 diffrent modle # numbers
I also noticed the same things on Video cards ect.. model number changes and drivers ?? - updates ect..
being that an ATI 9000 OEM cant be updated and an ATI 9000 Retail can and be clocked
Is there a clear diffrence in the production of OEM and Retail products
The diffrence I found was 3 things
one heat diffrence the Retail ran a bit cooler
second it also was more stable the bench scores were a bit higher
Any one please help
