One card (the cheaper one) is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Typically OEM products do not include documentation or warantee. For $10 bucks more i would just get the retail, but thats just me.

In my experiences most OEM products don't come with a warranty, or at least the warranty is not as long as the retail version. Look at CPU's, retail amd processor has a 3 year warranty. As far as i know, oem doesn't come with any warranty. You have to look carefully before you buy to make sure. | |

You have to look carefully before you buy to make sure. | CPU's are a different creature...
They extend the warranty if you use THEIR retail HSF...
That way, if you mess it up with an aftermarket, they're not liable... | |
