SUMMARY
The Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) GetSystemInfo fills in the members of a SYSTEM_INFO structure. The dwOemId member represents a computer identifier that is specific to a particular OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.51 and Windows 95 always place a zero in the dwOemId member. In later releases, this behavior will change to include different OEM IDs.
