I'm referring to Windows OS when I'm saying this, but in terms of OEM for an OS. it means that Microsoft themselves will not support it. OEM normally is used for new computers.

I'm assuming when referring to a CPU it's the same thing. As Intel will not support you if you have problems with your CPU.

Hope this helped

That's pretty much it - typically getting something "oem" means without box, packaging extra's, etc. OEM PCU will most times just be the CPU itself. Also, the warranty can sometimes be different. I think most retail CPU are like 3 years and OEM are 1 year, something like that.

As Whaler said, OEM CPU will just be the CPU, you won't get the heatsink.

Or the fancy stickers :(

Or the amazing black box that gives you bragging rights :(
