Preheat the oven to 350º F.
Pulse the whole oreos (or chocolate graham crackers) in a blender or food processor until they are very fine. Measure out 2 cups of crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the crumbs with the melted butter, mix well until incorporated.
Add the crumbs to a 8 or 9 inch springform pan, distribute them evenly, using a cup or the bottom of something flat to press the crumbs into the pan. If desired, you can have the crumbs go up the sides of the pan a bit.
Place the pan in the oven, pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, and allow it to cool to room temperature before adding the cheesecake mixture. To speed this up, you can put the springform pan in the fridge.
Turn the oven down to 325º F.
