    XP----oem

    OEM is supposed to mean you got it with a system (discount price on OS), however most people can get one by buying a mouse pad (or less). There is no difference between Full and OEM other than that. <A HREF="http://forums.btvillarin.com/index.php?showtopic=421" target="_new">Psyko's Puter</A>
