Well Im gonna be getting a Radeon 9800 Pro in the next week or 2...

Now my question is.. Whats the difference between OEM and Retail?

Because I can get OEM for $285 Canadian and Retail for $315..

So whats the difference that makes OEM cheaper??

I dont really have a ton of money so I was thinking of gettin the OEM... Correct me if that is a bad choice.

OEM is basically the bare minimum. It comes without the free games, software etc. You may get a manual and a driver CD though I'm not sure. Still if your short for cash I'd say go OEM!
