As i've mentioned in this thread http://www.hardwareheaven.com/hardware-discussion-support/101182-tv-cards-recommendations.html as well as looking for a good TV Card + projector I was also considering getting a sound card. But this boat had past and i thought i'd make this upgrade later in the year.

But earlier on today i spotted this

i'm right in saything that the audigy 4 is one of the best sound card out right?

Anyway my point is this is as cheap as chips but the bit that conserns me is the OEM bit.

What exactly is OEM? (I know i should know by now but i don't)
And would it work in my system? (see sig below for specs)

OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer, in english, it's just a card aimed at pre-built machines, no box or extra software, just the card and the drivers

usually cheaper

and it should work find in your machine
