OEM = Original Equipment Manufactures, or summink along those lines. so if its original all it will come with will be what the products maker puts in the box, drivers and all connecting leads plus sometimes u mite get software, i did wen buyin my cdrw

OEM will come with no software or retail box , therefore making the product cheaper. No drivers are required all you need is CD/DVD burning software which is widely availiable for download on the net
