I see on some of the online sites to buy DVD drives/media and other products it will sometimes say OEM or Retail~ Like to know the difference?? Thanks

Its fairly simple, retail you get the pretty box. Sometimes you get some extra stuff with retail like when buying a dvd burner, you might get a blank dvd or two. OEM means you only get the drive witht the screws, audio cable, and software to run it.

Hope this helps

Some times the warranty for the OEM's isn't as good as the retail drives :)
