This does thanks.

But I have one question and this goes towards everyone that posts here at OEM; when you post for example: "I am planning to build a PC; I'm looking for OEM Video card, OEM Systemboard, etc...", why are you using the term OEM. If OEM means what Dr. Zaius says then are the posters here saying OEM just to sound technically knowledge able or is there another meaning other than buying OEM products that come with the bare minium. So what if you get the manuals. I can understand the point if you were for a PC company (which I have and from being there for 2 years and what I learned what OEM means we never bought out 98 nic cards via OEM), then why don't you just say Video card, and motherboard, etc...

Just wondering.
