Is there a big difference between MSI K8N SLI and MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboa

i am a bit tight on budget, so I was wondering if I should get the MSI K8N SLI motherboard instead of the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard (my previous choice),.......what do u guys say ?

Hi,
Note that he is not talking about the Neo4 versions, looks like in the US MSI has different products:
Here is the K8N SLI:

And here is the K8N NEO4 SLI:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4/SLI&class=mb
One has Sound blaster, the other does not.
Besides, K8N SLI Platinum has only one LAN.

While the Neo4 Platinum has two.
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
A bit confusing right !? Remember that this forum is accessed by people all over the world.
The thing is that the Neo4 and the related non-Neo are using the same BIOS AFAIK.

  • Is there a big difference between the 2.6 and the 3.0?

    I am getting a macpro, and will be doing video editing with final cut. Should I spend extra for the 2 3G processors or will the 2.6 prove to be enough power for editing with final cut?

    Yes the 2.66GHz is powerful enough for video editing.
    Be aware that while the 3GHz is "13% more powerful" for the most part you won't notice a difference as this difference will only come into play when your cores are being saturated which they won't be. While you're editing the difference will actually be in the low single digits if anything at all.
    Now, when it comes to encoding and high continuous processing the difference will be noticed. Again, not rhe full 13% as this would require a full multi-threaded efficiency of FCS and Mac OS X which there isn't. You will get around a 8-10% difference though. So, on a 10 hour encode you're looking to save less than an hour on that time. Whether that's worth the difference to you I have no idea.
    If you budget is tight then you're better off spending that money on the ATi X1900 XT, RAM and hard drives.

  • Considering buying refurbished.  Is there a big difference between a refurb with an original date this year vs. one from over a year ago??

    Considering buying refurbished.  Is there a big difference between a refurb with an original date this year vs. one from over a year ago??

    MacBook Air, 13", Mid 2013:
    On June 10, 2013, Apple released an updated MacBook Air in the same form factor as the 2012 model during the company's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). The 11-inch and 13-inch models have a minimum standard 4GB RAM, with a maximum configuration of 8GB. Both models are powered by the Haswell ULT 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processors with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz and 1.7GHz Dual-Core i7 with Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz option available. Each model has a 128GB configuration and a 256GB configuration available, with the 256GB model being upgradeable to 512GB SSD.
    1.3 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Air, 13", Early 2014:
    On April 29, 2014 Apple released an updated MacBook Air featuring faster processors and better battery life. The standard configurations also saw a price drop in most regions.
    1.4 GHz (Core i5) or 1.7 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Late 2013:
    At the Apple Special Event on October 22, 2013, Apple announced that it had updated the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. Both versions feature the new Intel Haswell chipset.
    2.4 or 2.6 GHz (Core i5) or 2.8 GHz (Core i7)
    MacBook Pro, 13", Retina, Mid 2014:
    On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
    2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
    I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.

  • Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

    hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

    That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
    Your question is:
    ¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
    --NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
    --ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

  • Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

    Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
    Cheers
    G

    There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
    Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

  • Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

    Is there a big difference between Intel Iris Pro graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, is it worth paying an extra $200?

    Software support of graphics card is key.   If no graphics card is mentioned in software specs, then it can be ignored.  Mostly games and high end image and video graphics software are affected.

  • There is a difference between the document total and its components

    Hi!
    I have an error message "There is a difference between the document total and its components" when I want to create an InventoryGenEntry
    the problem arises from time to time and my customer must do the document two or three times before it is created.
    I have seen in this forum and in notes that this is probably being caused by a Rounding.
    I am using 2 digits for amounts, 4 digits for prices, 6 digits for rates and 3 digits for quantities.
    For information my customer use SAP 2005 and the patch level 46.
    This problem happened only in InventoryGenEntry. how can I modifiy parameters to resolve this problem?
    thank you for your help.
    Best Regards
    Séverine

    Hi Séverine,
    Do you find any additional code added to SBO_SP_Transaction stored procedure. A similar issue with stock transfer fixed in later patch. Please test in latest patch.

  • Is there a huge difference between the 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz MBP's?

    I am wondering if there is a really big difference between the two models?  The 2.0GHz model seems fine for doing college homework, papers, power point, photo editing, video editing, web surfing, not a heavy gamer, I make podcasts and YouTube videos.  This is what I mainly do...  Can someone tell me if maybe I might have to get the 2.2GHz?  Thanks!

    Spend the little more money for the 2.2Ghz your graphics potential is awesome and thus future proofs your machine a lot longer than 2.0 which the integrated and the discrete graphics are about the same lousy performance.
    Also your resale value will be much higher and more willing buyers if you should ever need too.

  • Is there a performance difference between Automation Plug-ins and the scripting system?

    We currently have a tool that, through the scripting system, merges and hides layers by layer groups, exports them, and then moves to the next layer group.  There is some custom logic and channel merging that occasionally occurs in the merging of an individual layer group.  These operations are occuring through the scripting system (actually, through C# making direct function calls through Photoshop), and there are some images where these operations take ~30-40 minutes to complete on very large images.
    Is there a performance difference between doing the actions in this way as opposed to having these actions occur in an automation plug-in?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply.    I ended up just benchmarking the current implementation that we are using (which goes through DOM from all indications, I wasn't the original author of the code) and found that accessing each layer was taking upwards of 300 ms.  I benchmarked iterating through the layers with PIUGetInfoByIndexIndex (in the Getter automation plug-in) and found that the first layer took ~300 ms, but the rest took ~1 ms.  With that information, I decided that it was worthwhile rewriting the functionality in an Automation plug-in.

  • Is there a noticeable difference between Dual Core i7 and Quad Core i7?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm going to be a college freshman this fall. I'm looking at 13" MacBook with Retina Display with dual core i7.   I'm also looking at the 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display with Quad Core i7. I want to major in science and have a concentration in photography, which means that I will run programs like Excel, PowerPoint (or keynote), and Photoshop.
    Anyways, will there be a noticeable difference between a Dual Core i7 processor and a Quad i7 processor?
    Thanks!

    Ceteris Paribus, the quad-core will be twice as fast as the dual-core.

  • Just got ipod 3G, BIG difference between Ipod Touch 1G and 3G

    #1....the speakers and volume controls make a big difference.
    #2....the speed is also a major difference, My TV apps play more smoothly on the 3G than the 1G. The 1G would NOT play TV channels without the picture continuously stopping and starting.
    #3....the appearance of the 3G seems like it is thinner, it looks more expensive.
    #4.....I also heard that there is a deactivated FM transmitter inside the 3G so when the next update comes, it will include the ability to play fm radio.
    I waited for a year and a half for this update and it was worth the wait even without a camera. I will probably buy the ipod nano for the camera.

    it'd be nice if the FM transmitter rumour is true, but don't go holding your breath (i think if this week's lack of camera update has taught us anything, it's taught us not to expect any rumours to be true!) i'm not entirely sure why they'd put a deactivated fm transmitter in there and not activate it straightaway, but stranger things have happened.
    i too have upgraded from a 1G to a 3G, and will agree with you on all those points. although points 1 and 3 were true for the 2G as well.
