Often, the OEM version of a product will not have identical specs as compared to the original product. Just make sure you understand the differences (if any) and you are willing to accept them. For example, an OEM video card may not have the same RAMDAC as the original, resulting in slower refresh capability. For your adapters, call the manufacturer.
