          Deathstalker & Syar2003 are correct in their answers but, I think the wording needs to be a bit more precise.

K8N Diamond          =     K8N NEO4 Platinum SLI     (no difference in specifications)
K8N Platinum SLI     =     Not distributed in the USA

The on-board options may differ slightly from dealer to dealer i.e. round cables, D bracket etc, and the DualNet card is an optional extra. 
The above specifications were correct when I was evaluating the K8N Diamond but may have changed.

I am a little confused (not abnormal by any means, I tend to stay there )  I thought that the Diamond (NEO4 Platinum SLI) was sold only overseas...I really like the extra fans

  • Difference between K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and K8N-SLI Platinum

    Hey guys.... I have one question and i hope you can help me.
    I'm about to get an MSI SLI Platinum motherboard, but it seems that there are two versions, the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and the K8N-SLI Platinum.
    What is the real difference between them? As i can see in the manual, the Neo4 version has the additional SATA2 and Gbit LAN controller.
    Anyone: Does your K8N-SLI board have 4 or 6 SATA2 ports? and 1 or 2 LANs?
    At this picture  http://www.midtdata.dk/asp/index.asp?varernr=K8N-SLI-PLAT&goto=productinfo&mainfunc=link I can see that there are 6 blue SATA connectors (lower right corner), and 2 LAN ports left to the LPT port... But the description says 4 SATA and 1 LAN, and so says the manual.
    To all owners of this mobo:  Does this picture look like your K8N-SLI Platinum or does it look like your K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI ?

  • What's the difference between 945 and 975 boards?

    Other than the fact that 975 boards support P4 Extreme Edition CPUs, are there any other significant differences between these two type of boards? I mean, will it make my system run faster, say, if i switch my current setup to a 975 board?

    pck, I don't think you'll feel anything for switching from 945P to 975X. If you need ECC RAM, if you need to run CrossFire (ATI's SLI) (note: 975X doesn't officially support Nvidia's SLI), if you have DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 and want to run with PAT enabled, then only you go for 975X. Will that hit any performance increase? maybe... less than 2% I think... overall could be just about 0.2~ 0.3% improvement, NOTHING significant.

  • Differences between mcp and mcp t sound

    this is all sound sound info direct from a man at nvidia who knows
    PLEASE NOTE ONLY MCP2-T BOARD MSI DO AT THE MOMMENT IS THE K7N2G-ILSR
    The MCP has no hardware support for audio of any kind, period. Windows and the CPU do all the audio work on that part and there is absolutely no DSP, NVIDIA or otherwise, in that chip to help out. Try to do EAX, any kind of reverb or chorus, or a music preset on those boards and you'll see the CPU usage climb. Ditto if you add more voices to the mix: CPU usage goes up.
    The MCP-T has a full hardware audio DSP, hardware acceleration for 2D and 3D streams, and Dolby Digital encode support. EQs, HRTFs, and all environmental settings are exposed and modifiable by the user. None of this is available on the soft solutions due to the heavy hit on the CPU if they were enabled.
    Short of that, you can try to use the ASIO or OpenAL drivers. You'll find that neither will work on the MCP because there is no supporting hardware for them. In short, there is no way to coax an MCP to be an APU capable part, the support simply isn't in the chip
    Here's the chip differences:
    MCP has the following:
    - ATA-133 x 2 ports
    - USB 1.0/1.1/2.0 x 6 ports
    - NVIDIA MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - Legacy I/O bus (PS2, Printer, Serial)
    - AC 97 host based audio (no DSP)
    MCP-T includes the above and adds the following:
    - 3Com MAC 10/100 x 1 port
    - 1394A Firewire MAC x 3 ports
    - NVIDIA APU with Dolby Digtal Encoder

    thats not to say mcp is bad as this proves
    The MCP2 is definately hardware sound. As far as the APU goes the only difference between MCP2 and MCP2-T is the T version has Soundstorm(Dolby Digital). Basically Mcp2-T =5.1 digital output capabilities Mcp2 no digital output, analogue output only. The other differences are the T version Has Dual Lan support and a firewire controller which the plain MCP2 does not. Here are my cpu utilization test results from Audio winbench proving that The MCP2 APU is a hardware APU.

  • Difference between, E8000 and E6000 (intel)

    i currently have AMD dual core and intend to go to intel 45nm E8000 , i would like to know the major difference between E8000 and E6000 intel cpu. i do know E8000 is more efficient but is it also true that E8000 can do multitasking or multi-thereading while E6000 series can not. many thanks

    thanks A LOT Aaron,that is some comfort but Please tell me a few notable enhancement, i had a look at intel site but it could not tell any a mjor difference i wonder if you can, many thanks
    Some of the differences are:
    Die shrink from 65nm to 45nm; it is more energy efficient (i.e. it should use less power); it has a larger level 2 cache and it should run a little cooler then the E6000 series.  Also reviewers have said that they are running about 5 to 15% faster clock for clock compared to the E6000 series. 
    Downside right now is that they are in short supply and priced higher then expected because of it.

  • Difference between Null and null?

    What is the difference between null and NULL?
    When is each used?
    Thanks,

    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
                  filetype                = 'ASC'
             changing
                  data_tab                = iflatf
             exceptions
                  file_open_error         = 1
                  file_read_error         = 2
                  no_batch                = 3
                  gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
                  no_authority            = 6

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2

    Thanks,
    Mohammad Saeed

    Hi,
    They are both used for 10Gig interfaces.  The difference is the connector type.
    SFP+ is LC and X2 is SC.
    You can not put an SFP+ into an X2 slot or X2 optic into a SFP+.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.

  • What is difference between abstraction and encapsulation ?

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out the difference between abstraction and encapsulation but confused.
    Both are used for data hiding then what is the exact difference ?
    Thanks.

    Both are used for data hiding then what is the exact difference ?This is the picture I have:
    When you encapsulate something you get an inside and an outside. The outside is the abstraction. It describes how the encapsulated entity behaves viewed from the outside. This is also called the type. Hidden inside is the implementation. It holds detail information about how the type's behaviour is accomplished.
    It's a very simplified picture but I think it's quite accurate and it works for me.

  • What is difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper?

    Hi all,
                  I dont understand the actual difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper. I observed both are used for the same purpose. Could any one please let me know when to use Collection Wrapper and when to use Iterator??
    Thanks,
    Chinnu.

    L_Kiryl is right.
    Collections support global iteration (through collection->get_next( )) and local iteration (through iterator->get_next( )).
    Each collection has a focus object. Initially, the first object has the focus.
    Any global iteration moves the focus, which is published by the event FOCUS_CHANGED of the collection.
    If you want to iterate on the collection without moving the focus (and without triggering timeconsuming follow-up processes) you can use local iteration. To do so, request an iterator object from the collection and use this to iterate.
    And one more advantage of using iterator: it takes care of deleted entities. If you use global iteration then when you reach deleted entity it will be an exception. But there is no exception with iterator in the same situation.

  • What is difference between modify and update i am using

    my requiremen is to have three condition checkec while mofifying or updating from a internal table
    the three fields are
    cus no
    status
    date these all are primary key in the database table
    so which sould i use modify or update
    there might be entry already existing in database table or new entry to be created if already existin it should check on the primary keys and updatat if not it should add a record
    pls suggest whihc to use and how to implement the check on teh threee primary key
    like if modify ztable from table it_test
    now where condition ? can be used or not with modify? and if yes how
    if not should i use update will update create a new entry if no entry is there and please give syntex
    regards
    Arora

    Hi Nishant Arora,
    Modify: It works in performing two actions.
    They are: Insert + Update.
    For Example If a record that is exited in database, so you are modifying that record, it updates that particular record.
    Similarly, If the is not existed in the database, you are modifying it, it inserts a new record.
    Update: Update means just it updates the status, I mean it only updates the record. It doesn't inserts any new record if that particular record is not present in the database.
    These are the cases you need to write these statements.
