Difference between K8N Neo2 Platinum & K8N Neo2-F

Can anyone help to clear up what exactly is the difference between these two motherboards? I have the features page printed out and compared them side by side, but I don't see any difference. I understand that the K8N Neo2 Platinum has been on the market for a while, and the K8N Neo2-F is new. Any help is much appreciated.
Here are the links to both of them:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo2_Platinum&class=mb
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo2-F&class=mb

My Neo2 Platinum was the 54g version with a PCI 802.11b/g card and it seems that for some reason these boards have better power regulation than the standard Plat (at least the early models) as I have not had all the problems (PS/2, PCI, etc) some have had. And I have a Canon Digital Camcorder which only uses Firewire to output to PC.

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 is the difference between P35 Neo2-FR PCB versions?

Hi there
I have a PC built with a P35 Neo2-FR motherboard, PCB v1.1.
I'm just about to make another PC up using this board and it has PCB v1.2.
What is the difference between these? are there other versions and what is the change log between these?
Cheers

Hello Stonedofmoo,
there is no crucial difference between PCB v1.1 and v1.2. BIOS Versions are the same and there are no differences in functionality either.
The only difference I can see from looking at pictures of both revisions, are two extra capacitors next to the Realtek SoundChip on Rev. 1.1 boards.
If you want more detailed technical information, you will have to contact MSI directly and hope that they can give you a better answer:

Difference between Diamond and Platinum SLI boards

Whats the difference between the MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI and Diamond boards.

Jtu100,
Deathstalker & Syar2003 are correct in their answers but, I think the wording needs to be a bit more precise.

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

Confused - whats the difference between K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Diamond??

MSI web page says the Diamond has:
"Silicon Image's SATA RAID supports another 2 SATA II ports. Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s."
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=638
their Platinum page doesn't list the Silicone Image raid as a feature on the Platinum.
I have K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum and it has the Silicone Image raid - I'm using it now.
Can anyone explain this?
Another question: for both boards it shows: "NV RAID (Software) - - RAID function available for ATA133 + SATA HD drives or 2 SATA HD"
How can the Raid fuction work for ATA133 drives since the cables for SATA and PATA are different? What do the mean Raid for 133?
Thanks!!!
Tony

What's the difference between K8N Neo-V v2.0 and K8N Neo-V2?

i just bought a K8N Neo-V v2.0 the other day and just noticed earlier while i was tinkering with it that the model name printed on the pcb was covered with a sticekr of the former while the later is the real model printed on the PCB.
is there any difference here? have i been duped? or di they just flash the bios and relabeled and sold it?

The first one & the last one are in the neo landscape which is only available internally. I guess the last one might be deprecated as the name rde is changed to webide long ago.
The one in the hanatrial landscape is the public developers version available.
Drag & drop - There is a layout editor available to design the views. You just have to right click on your XML view & choose open with layout editor. I believe that should be avail in all those webide's.

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?
P35 Platinum
P35 Neo2 FIR
BIOS is identical?

The P35 Neo2 is FIR is actually listed as P35 Neo2 FR/FIR. It is what you could call a "modular mainboard". Even if it has the same PCB as the P35 Platinum mainboard, it doesn't necessarily mean, that it will always come with the same features.
If you look at the mainboard manual you will find that the ICH9R-Chipset and Firewire are mentioned as optional features. That means you will be able to purchase versions of this mainboard that will only have an ICH9 chipset and therefore won't support RAID or that don't have a firewire interface.
The abbreviation F,I and R have the following meaning:
F...Gigabit LAN
I... Firewire
R...RAID
In case you decide to buy the P35 Neo2 mainboard, pay close attention to the feature list. Even if the board is listed as FIR by a specific dealer, make sure it really comes with firewire and an ICH9R-chipset. If someone decides to sell the board with the full name that appears on the MSI Support Site (FR/FIR) he might be actually trying to sell a P35 Neo2-F trying to get a better price.

Somebody knows as it is the difference between motherboard MSI K8N

hello! somebody knows as it is the difference between motherboard MSI K8N
Neo4-FI and MSI K8N Neo4-F? is remarkable the difference? because I am about to to buy one, and not as to buy! greetings and thanks!

The FI board has SataII and the F only has SataI from what I can see.

Difference between DKA790GX and DKA790GX Platinum

I'm trying find the difference between the
DKA790GX and DKA790GX Platinum.
From what i can tell in the spec the only diff is the firewire port and about £20.
anyone else know ?

And....the Platinum version is black!!! That alone would be worth the extra $20 bucks to me. It's gotta look good when you open the case.

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 Socket 939 and 754

Can anyone explain the difference between the two socket types? I'm trying to decide which K8N Neo Platinum board to go with.

The big reason behind the move from 754 to 939 was mostly to incorporate dual channel memory which give the CPU's that much more strength in the market. In a year or so we will all be looking for DDR3 and this will all change once more.
njoy.
How true! My closet and garage are full of things that were the latest and greatest.

Differences between live 24bit and audigy se?

hi!
anyone knows whats the exact differences between the creative soundblaster live 24bit (found in the k8n diamond and p4n diamond) and creative soundblaster audigy se (found in k8n diamond plus)? the chipsets seems to be identical among each other. the specs are also identical.
pls advise.

Why my device control on my K8N Diamond plus did not have the decoder tab?
Maybe that's why I can't get 5.1 sound from my digital speaker...
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99326.0
Looks like you don't have the right software drivers installed. Instead of the nVIDIA Audio drivers, you should be installing the Creative Labs drivers from the enclosed driver CD-ROM, the separate one from the MSI disk. Next go to Creatives site and run all the updates from their Auto-update service.
You should be able to select the tab shown above as I also see it. Each selection also works for me so I can say that the Dolby decoding does work.

The Difference Between?

Ok so I believe I know the answer here but asking anyway.
What is the difference between the adobe creative cloud team license vs the adobe creative cloud enterprise license?
is the team licence basically individually licences products per account users?
and is the enterprise one license that covers multiple users at once?
Thanks and sorry for the question but had to verify.

Hi tbirdbrent ,
Thank you for posting on the forums, the answer to your question is as follows.
1) Creative Cloud for teams brings together the very latest Creative Cloud desktop apps, updates and upgrades the moment they’re released, and all of the services and business features your team needs to create their best work and collaborate with their peers. Adobe offers two Creative Cloud for teams plans — you can opt for a complete plan (all apps and services) or a single-app plan such as Photoshop CC (access to one app and select services). With each option, you’ll receive access to the same easy-to-use web-based admin console that allows the administrator to centrally purchase, deploy, and manage all seats across your organization — whether single app or complete — under one membership agreement.
2) Creative Cloud for enterprise is for organizations with large deployments that require centralized provisioning and customized deployment of apps and services. Enterprises also receive enterprise customer support and expert services. Creative Cloud for enterprise also works with Digital Publishing Suite; Adobe Anywhere for video; and Adobe Marketing Cloud, which includes Adobe Experience Manager — all sold separately.
Also, the team licences is not individually licences products per account users and the same goes with the enterprise license.
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

SAP Seniors,
Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
Thank you
Anitha.

HI,
Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
SY-TABIX
Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
SY-INDEX
In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Pavan.
