3Com modems which are included with a computer manufacturer's system are built to the computer manufacturer's specifications, and are not the same as standard Sportsters

Oh really? I would sure like to know what those specifications are?? What, do they swap out TI chipsets and put in ROK Cheap Chipsr ? Man I'm real confused. I guess I've lost or never had an understanding of OEM.


My Gateway's video card, a Matrox, is different than a retail card. Gateway has them leave off some sort of connector and use a lower frequency RAMDAC. Probably saves a few cents per card.

The point is these big box makers specify exactly what they want.
