To the best of my knowledge there is absolutely no difference between a 
SB 16 and a Vibra 16.  As you say one is an OEM card but I thaught it 
was just the same card with a different name for OEM purposes.  The 
chipsets are identical.

I know the Vibra comes with slightly less software but I was lead to believe 
the actual hardware is identical bar the name.  Is this true ?
