Hey ratchet, between which two modems? I only see one link in your post, which doesn't work btw.

------------------------------ Desktop | E7300 | P5KPL-AM | 2GB DDR2 667MHz | NVIDIA 9500 GT | ST3320613AS | w2228h
XPS M1330 | T8300 | Dell 0U8042 | 2GB DDR2 800MHz | NVIDIA 8400M GS | WD2500BEVS-75US | 1280 x 800

Try clicking on the link on your post. It leads to a page saying "Thank you for visiting Newegg.com. We apologize for your inconvenience. The page you requested is unavailable."

EDIT: If we're to use OEM copies of operating systems as a guide, OEM modems are "tied" to the motherboard you're using; you only have a license to use that modem with that motherboard, so once the mobo goes kaput, you technically can't use the modem anywhere else. That's why it's cheaper.
