i just realized that the dvd burner i ordered is OEM. what does that mean? did i order the wrong thing? i know it stands for original equipment manufacturer but what does that mean for me?
If its a custom built computer then it doesn't affect anything. If you buy a name brand computer and don't put an OEM part in it, it could void the warranty.
oem means that u just get the hardware itself. no box, accesories, or any extra stuff that u would get from a retail version. and not much of a warranty too depending on the manufacturer
oo ok.. well im pretty screwed cause i think the drive i got OEM has a different interface then my mobo.. i hope newegg can exchange it. im so pissed i was hoping to get my pc together by tomorrow.. guess thats out the window.. ughhhhh
