There are "white box" versions of the Thriller (AGP & PCI) available for considerably less money, does anyone know whether there are hardware differences between the retail versions and the "white box" (OEM?) versions? Hercules has proven to be of no use in answering this.

no difference, just make sure the seller has good return policies just in case > There are "white box" versions of the Thriller (AGP & PCI) available for > considerably less money, does anyone know whether there are hardware > differences between the retail versions and the "white box" (OEM?) > versions?

The "White box versions are the same as their "retail boxed" counterparts, but without the frills, ie games, worthless manufacturer utilities, and colorful retail box. These white box versions are meant for OEM's (Computer manufacturers) but some get out to the consumer market. The only thing they might lack is the mfg. warranty, but if the thing works well out of the box, don't fret about a warranty. I've never seen a video card "break" >There are "white box" versions of the Thriller (AGP & PCI) available for >considerably less money, does anyone know whether there are hardware >differences between the retail versions and the "white box" (OEM?) >versions?
