With the retail you get Docs, HS and a nice box with warranty ..

OEM is my choice coz i just can`t use the junky retail HS (limited OCing) .. and it is a little cheaper.

Whatever you choose, performance and quality are the same.
Thanks for the reply. I was referring to performance and quality of the heatsink, though. For gaming, with no overclocking, does it matter at all if I use a "junky retail" heatsink vs a better heatsink?

Also, does the Retail CPU include the heatsink pre-installed, or would I need to apply thermal paste and install the heatsink myself? In other words, would the Retail version be easier-to-install overall?

Thanks,
Mike Gnitecki
