Whats the difference?

What is the difference between the OEM, Retail and BULK Radeon 9800 pro cards ?
Does the bulk version get shipped just in a polythene or a plastic box as an OEM gets shipped in a lite box...

From what I undersand it to be is that OEM is just the product itself, with no of software and what not.

Retail = Pretty box, cables, software, manual, etc...
OEM = Just the item itself in a static bag and in a generic brown box.
Bulk = (not exactly sure, so correct me if i'm wrong) Probably just when you buy a bunch of OEM's at once and they come together in bulk in one box (probably getting a discount of some sort).

So how would this card be shipped?

You can buy one if you want. That link takes you to the OEM version, so expect a brown box with a video card inside of a static bag.
