Both are OEM. However, what exactly is the difference between the two I 
don't know.

There was also the 106 model, also for the same price.

Just to complete the picture, a Gigabyte is $185 and so was a NEC while 
Lite-on vary around the $185 - $190 +/-; there were also some for around 
the $260 mark but I don't recall the brand (?MSI).

If one wants to wait fro 2 weeks or so the faster Pioneer (8x write) 
will be out but I cannot say what the price may be.

Cheers.
