Sometimes there can be a warranty difference too. Sometimes longer or shorter.
(AMD CPU, OEM shorter)
(WD HD, OEM longer.) (3x -- Have not checked lately.)
(I guess WD expects home users to "beat them up more" putting them in...)

OEM 'usually' means just a bare card; no driver media, no pretty box, no cables, no manuals. Retail is 'usually' everything above.
