I don't know why there is a difference between clock speeds. as far as OEM vs Retail, i would probably get Retail unless you are sure the OEM card will come with the cables. I would go with a 128MB 9600XT OEM personally since 9600XT isn't powerful enough to make use of 256MB anyways. 9800Pro is only barely powerful enough to justify it. 9800XT sort of is.
