Qosmio X70-A - difference between nVidia and Toshiba GPU driver

Is there any difference between the nvidia display driver and the one packed by toshiba?
I've been using the one from toshiba but Geforce Experience is giving me a headache with warnings about a newer driver and toshiba doesn't seem to supply one.

Yes of course there is a difference between the nVidia GPU drivers (or any drivers provided by graphic card manufacturers) and drivers provided by Toshiba.
The GPU drivers from Toshiba driver page are modified and made for mobile usage.
Every notebook model supports different components (CPU, cooling modules, etc) and different design. Therefore the heat dissipation is always different.
The GPU driver provided by Toshiba supports some kind of GPU overheating protection and protects the graphic chip from damage. This means that GPU performance is controlled by the driver and in case the internal temperature would increase to critical level, the GPU performance would be decreased. Also the notebook shuts down automatically if temperature would be too high.

Qosmio F50-10M - Difference between 32bit and 64bit BIOS

Hello,
I use WindowsVISTA-32bit SP2, and my BIOS is up to date (2.0 32bit I suppose). What are the differences between 32 oder 64 bit version of the BIOS? What would happen if I flash fw of BIOS to 64bit altough using VISTA32 and vice versa?
I think about changing to a 64bit system (propably Win7 Ultimate OEM or LINUX), does it make sense changing?
Thank you guys in advance!
Yours,
Stamind_1

> But what would happen if I change my OS from 32 to 64bit without updating the BIOS, or if I change back from 64 to 32 after updating BIOS to 64bit? Do I have to expect difficulties/errors?
Nobody would be able to say what would happen!
Usually you should not notice any serious hardware problems but possibly the notebooks parts like cooling modules, WLan, or other functions like multimedia control buttons would not work as it should.
If there is no other BIOS then you have to use the one which is available on the Toshiba European driver page if there are more BIOS versions for different operating systems then you have to use the one which has been designed for the certain Windows OS.

Difference between 5400 and 7200 hard drive

Looking at buying a new MBP - can't decide on the 750 G 5400 HD or the 500G 7200 HD. I like the extra space for photos on the 5400 HD but will the 7200 be a snapper unit ? I can always use an extra drive for storage - but is the speed benefit noticeable ? I can't seem to find any recent reviews. They all seem a few years old. Plus - not sure whether the bigger drive will be just as snappy (more space) as the faster drive (possibly fulling up).
Advice anyone ?

And probably to your surprise, they still spin at the same speeds. 5400rpm & 7200rpm.

Is there a big difference between 5400 and 7200 hard drives?

I dont know which one to get. Should i upgrade to the 7200. Right now i have a 7200 hard drive in my powermac g5 and its great so would it be alot slower with a 5400 hard drive. Also to upgrade the drive do i have to order it online or can they upgrade it in the apple store?

Barefeats did some tests, and they conclude the Momentus 7200 is worth the upgrade. Also note this drive is slower than some other newer drives, so you could even get a greater advantage from other models. I've bolded pertinent information. Please note most performance increases are not seen in everyday emailing, web surfing, etc.
http://www.barefeats.com/hard56.html
Their Conclusion:
ANALYSIS
The Seagate Momentus 7200.1 takes notebook drive speed to a whole new level. It's not as fast as the fastest 2.5" (ed) 7200rpm drives but it's impressive nevertheless. And its quiet. It's a no brainer for a PowerBook internal drive replacement or as an external drive in a FireWire 800 enclosure.
WILL A 7200RPM NOTEBOOK DRIVE DRAIN MY BATTERY FASTER?
The short answer is, "Probably not." You see, the 7200rpm drives are as much as 28% faster doing random reads and writes compared to the 5400rpm drives. They are as much as 80% faster than 4200rpm drives. Yet the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 uses the same amount of power as the Travelstar 5K100. The Seagate Momentus 7200.1 uses only 10% more power than the Momentus 4200.2. The Momentus 5400.3 uses less power than the Momentus 4200.2. My theory is that the "speed to power" ratio is so good with the 7200rpm drives that the net effect on the battery is negligible.

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 32DT2U1 and 32DT2UL1?

Before I involve Toshiba tech support, anyone know the difference between 32DT2U1 and 32DT2UL1? I have the latter, and can't find hide nor hair of a mention on the support site, but can find some limited information on the non-L part number.
It's a nice 32" set, fine picture, abysmal "Media Player" (I wouldn't have bothered adding the USB port for photos only, myself), but I was hoping to find a "real" manual (the "Easy Setup Guide" doesn't exactly tell you anything useful about the ) and maybe a complete spec sheet...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If your looking for a manual here is the .pdf of it for your model. http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/manuals/userguides/su2979064/32C110U_40E210U_46G310U... It has much more information than what came with the tv..
Personally they should of had a download for the manual. How they have it sucks, printer friendly, should of been a button to download manual.. But it is viewable on-line, a plus.

What is the difference between NB200 and NB205?

Hello I'm in UK! I'm wanting to know what is the difference between NB200 and NB205? Thanks

I agree with Jeff. All notebook models with 5 at the end are notebook models designed for US market.
Check please http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp - Toshiba US page and compare it withToshiba UK.
If you are from UK I recommend you to buy one in your country.
So you will have full support and everything will be easier for you.

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.

Differences between M30 and M40 /Power management

Hi!
I own a M30x and have a problem with the power management utility run by restricted users. (XP Prof/SP2 - Toshiba Power Management Utility 1.27.2.1.
A restricted User cannot access the tool and the notebook runs in full power mode whether it has power supply or accu-supply.
In this forum i read that m40's latest power saving tool can be accessed by a restricted user.
So, the question is clear: What's the difference between m30 and m40 notebooks? Can I use m40's power saver on my m30 without causing troubles?
TIA,
Georg

Hello Georg
As far as I know the tools and utilities are not the same for every notebook model or series. The notebooks have different hardware configuration and every tool is designed to work properly with own series.
Optical they are all the same or resemble but I am pretty sure that you can have problems using tool on your unit designed for another notebook model.

Difference between Null and null?

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

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

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

The difference between SFP+ and X2

Dear Expert,
I need to know what is the difference between SFP+ and X2! and can I use SFP+ card and module instead of X2?
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+.
